Food and Nutrition Program

One of the projects that I’m fundraising for by running this marathon includes the addition of more nutritious foods to the children’s diets. I’ve recently begun collaborating with an organization called Global Nutrition Alliance. The organization strives to bring focus to the nutritional value of food rather than its number of calories. I am working on putting together a most accurate picture of the current nutrition situation of our kids so that GNA’s nutritionists can begin to put a plan together that can fill the inadequacies uncovered. Once this is complete, we will be working together on an action plan that will help us to get the food and/or supplements transported and distributed.

Family Portrait

Choupy, one of our most talented artists at the orphanage painted this family portrait for me from a photo I gave him from graduation. Though it looks nothing like us, the 4' x 4' painting is beautiful in person.
