Endangered Species

Everyone doesn't always arrive at meetings on time.  Reasons vary from "the alarm didn't go off," to "I couldn't find my keys."  In developing countries, however, the reason is all too often the lack of food.  One of our most dependable Kafwa was late for a recent meeting with the orphan support group at Chipulukusu and when we expressed our concern, one of the other Kafwa said, "She'll be here soon.  She's still looking for food to feed her family this morning."

Mothers are often delayed as they go to the homes of friends and relatives trying to find food to feed their children.  We can -- and MUST -- do better as a global community!  Let's put hunger on the endangered species list now!!
