Many children have no regular meals at home.
They line up with plastic bottles in all shapes and colors to receive milk from a mechanical cow that transforms locally grown soybeans into soy milk rich in vitamins and protein.

God's covenant people have brought light to this nation through the United Methodist Committee on Relief.
