Feed African ChildrenFeed the Starving Children in Africa
Help Hearth to Hearth Ministries feed African children that are starving in Africa. The Paragraphs below were adapted from a letter from Pastor Maurice, the administrator of Hope for Children Center. He has been working to feed the children that come to the gates of the African orphanage that he manages. Pastor Maurice has written many letters asking for help to feed African children. FEED AFRICAN CHILDREN PROGRAM One of the most important achievements that I can mention is the Feed African Children Program, which was organized by the older children in Hope for Children Center orphanage. They were so touched by the plight of the starving orphans outside the orphanage that they decided that they would forego one meal a day to share their food with the younger children dying of starvation in the streets or in their homes. Some of our donors/sponsors, when they became aware of what the children were trying to do on their own, decided to send support to assist in buying food to feed the starving children these African orphans were trying to help. Far more funds are needed if we are to meet the needs in a more meaningful way. This program opened an opportunity for Winifred Ajwang, an African orphan at Hope for Children Center Orphanage, to bring in one orphan (Mummy) that was starving in Africa. On one of the outings Winifred saw a starving African orphan that was so weak from hunger that she could barely move. Winifred begged to be allowed to bring the orphan she called Mummy into the orphanage and promised to care for her. Winifred's sponsor generously agreed to cover all the costs of Mummy's care until she was stronger. Thank God, Mummy is now sponsored.
As we go out into the surrounding area distributing food in the
Feed African Children Program, we met so many children
in the streets who are orphaned, homeless, hopeless, and desperate. Imagine it! Some were as
young as five or six with no mother, no father, no home, no food and no one to care
for them. I have been to the USA. I’ve seen how people there have extreme care
and love for children. I admire it. It is unimaginable to find a five-year-old
child in the streets of the USA without father, mother, food, shelter or anyone
to care. I never saw it and I just don’t think you ever have such a situation
there. It is truly painful here. We can no longer afford to feed the children at the gate from the food in our pantry. (This is because we are struggling to put away grain stores for the orphans already in Hope for Children Center Orphanage so they will have some food during the time of year when no grain is available. Editor) We can only feed the children at the gate whenever donors, responding to the great need, send funds specifically for that project. Under the Feed African Children Program and the Gates Project many orphaned children have been saved. I want to commend and thank those who have been supporting the Feed African Children Program and Feed the Starving at the Gates project. God wants us to care for His children. You can participate in these programs and have a part in helping to save even more children's lives. Click on the Donations link to help African orphans.
