We recently received word that our nutrition program will no longer be receiving the usual semi annual donation shipments of food staples, such as soy bean and corn flour, dried peas\/beans, oil, etc.  Apparently the word (a rumor) is that World Food Bank has lost its main donors for this country, and the warehouses are empty (not a rumor &#8211; their warehouses and our container are empty).  There is a possibility of the program starting up again in July, but until then, we will be adding the cost of buying those normally donated goods to an already &#8220;in the red&#8221; hospital budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/danforth?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=155&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are 4 of the current 14 kids in our mission hospital&#8217;s nutrition center.
