Haiti and Eating Dirt Cookies

Please watch this short video about Haiti's poor and the reality that they must eat DIRT to survive. I did not believe this until I went to Haiti, but, unfortunately this is very true. Parents will feed their children dirt cookies to keep the from crying at night from hunger.

I would ask for your reaction, whatever your reaction may be. The intention is to increase awareness and get different opinions.

I respectfully thank you.

Hunger Solution-Chicken Farming

Chicken Farming
Protein deficiency is one of the greatest causes of malnutrition in the Caribbean and Latin America. The gift of baby chicks will not only help provide a family with a sustainable form of protein (eggs), but the sale of extra eggs can also be a supplemental source of income. Chickens, endearing birds that require modest space and effortless nurturing, are the ideal product for a self-sustaining animal husbandry initiative. Chickens are economical and require minimal maintenance, and the protein from their eggs will help prevent the devastating
effects of malnutrition. With this initiative, the backyard of any rural home can be the source of
food for a family.

Please join "All-Nighter for the Poor" to learn more about hunger solutions.

A Hunger Solution

The sea and fishery sector now play a critical roles in developing food resources for poor and undernourished countries. Over the last two decades aquaculture (fish farming) has become a viable farming alternative for food insecure countries.

Tilapia farming, the nurturing and harvesting of tilapia fish, is a prime example of aquaculture.
Tilapia farming is a self-sustaining fish harvest initiative specifically designed to enhance food
production, produce a nutritional source of food to reduce malnutrition, and encourage economic
sustainability with a viable and marketable product.

Learn more about this and other life -saving projects on October 16th, All Nighter for the Poor.
