Heartbreaking News

Yesterday afternoon Marc went to Nueva Oriental.  He left there with very sad news.  The feeding center has closed.  This feeding center has fed about 300 kids 5 days a week for a long time.  For most of those children, it is the only food they receive.

The feeding center has always closed for 2-4 weeks around Christmastime, but due to financial problems, it could not reopen.  We  have always shared food that came in on the containers, but it wasn't enough to keep the doors open.

Many of our groups have worked there and fallen in love with the children and the workers. 

This is so sad for all those children that are not eating and for the people that work there that are not receiving a paycheck to feed their families. 

We need to pray for a solution.
