One Day - One Lunch
Monday, January 31, 2011 at 11:49AM A few months ago, we found out that 15-year-old Addisyn Block was donating her school lunch money every day to the kids at our Adami Tulu Preschool in Ethiopia. (Check out more on that here)
After awhile a friend of mine decided to join me in my efforts and she gave her lunch money too- which got me to thinking. What if others joined in too- even just one day? What if the body of Christ came together one day for one lunch and gave what we would have spent that day on our lunch away? It only cost $3.00 to feed a child at the Adami Tulu preschool for ONE MONTH. Can you imagine what a big difference we could make by just giving away one days lunch?

So on February 3rd, Addisyn and her mother, Amy, are introducing One Day - One Lunch. You can read more on Amy's blog here but if you want to participate, simply send your "lunch money" for one day to Lifesong for Orphans:
