Soup

The soup mix

The ladies at the feeding center were happy to receive the soup.

On July 31, a soup container was unloaded. It is a soup mix that has to be added with water. There was 128 barrels on the container. Each barrel has 100 bags of soup mix and each bag will make 10 gallons of soup. That is a whole bunch of servings of soup.


This morning two barrels went out. One went to a town. The people of this town will be glad to have some food. We took the other barrel to the feeding center at Nuevo Oriental. This feeding center operates on a very small budget and still feeds 240 kids a day five days a week. This soup will supplement the feeding center for a quite a while. The ladies that work in the feeding center were thrilled when the soup barrel was unloaded.



While we were at the feeding center, we stayed and helped feed the kids. That is always fun.



It was a great day.

Dear Terri,
I am curious. What exactly makes up the soup? Is it lintels, dried beans, powdered broth? Just wondering. I know that it must be very good for you and hopefully taste good too.
I always go to your blog at the end of the day and after reading it wish that I had accomplished just half what you and Marc manage to do.
You always put hands and feet to your prayers.
Love, Ginger
