Food for the Hungry

My seat mate on the way back was Leena, who works for the organization, "Food for the Hungry," as Rehabilitation Program Officer for the Relief Unit. The main office is in Phoenix, but she works in the Washington, D.C. office. Their program is mainly in Africa although they also work in places such as Bolivia and Peru. A group has been working in Sudan. Leena had spent time there, and will now be making a report. "Food for the Hungry" provides emergency response as well as long-term development. You can get information at www.fh.org. Sometimes all our efforts seem very small compared to the needs, but the work is important, and I am glad there are people like Leena helping to carry the work forward. I very much enjoyed talking with her and learning of the work.
