One Day - One Lunch

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:

Wow, Amy and Addisyn!  Thank you both so much for being a voice for children in Ethiopia!

Food production @ Lifesong School - Zambia

A note from our Lifesong - Zambia (John and Dru):

Just thought you might like to see a few of these photos--the 3rd grade boys shelling the maize by beating it in a bag, the pile of maize that filled one classroom about a foot deep, the shelled maize starting to pile up, and the 3rd grade girls cooking for the the other children.

The children at Lifesong School - Zambia are really proud of their marvelous vegetable garden. What you see is Chinese cabbage and onions. There are thousands which will be transplanted to the other side of the road. Tomatoes, carrots, green beans and green peppers are also coming up.
