These children are happy for the good food they have received. They bring all kinds of plates, bowls, cups and other containers and get them filled with nutritious vitamin enriched soup. They live in very poor conditions and most have known how it feels to be hungry and there is no food to be found. They are so thankful for the food, the education and for the care they receive from their pastors and made possible by the Partners, Sponsors and Friends of FCM.
When you send money for feeding the children, you help put food in the bowls of children who would otherwise have very little or nothing to eat. Thank you.
Here are notes received from some of our sponsored children:
From Carl Angel (age 15). In the church I am a member of the singing group. My mother is working at MRF (material recovery facility, aka the garbage dumpsite). She segregates garbage, but her income is not sufficient for our needs. My family cannot eat 3 times every day. Thank you, my sponsor, for your financial support. There is food for us every day in the feeding center. All my school requirements are paid. I pray for you and to your family.
From Joan (age 14). I am a member of the dance group in the church. I always bring my younger brothers to the church for my prayer is that my family will come to know Jesus. Thank you, sponsor, for your financial support. We have food and our school requirements are supplied. During our field trip I learned many things. (Note if the children are unable to pay the "field trip fee" they cannot go on the trip.) God bless you and your family.
From Jason (age 11). I thank God I am the top (#1) in my class for I study very hard. Glory to God. Even when we don't have enough foods in our house and I am very hungry, I do not want to be absent in my school. Thank you, sponsor, for the food we eat every day and for my school needs being paid. God bless you.
