A Storm’s Hidden Destruction
5-year-old Angela looks tiny next to kids her age. She is underweight and malnourished.
“Angela is underweight because she doesn’t eat nutritious meals,” her mom Luisa told us. “We just eat white rice with a little sauce. It is hard to watch her not gaining weight.”
Then a typhoon hit their community in the Philippines. It destroyed Luisa’s garden that she uses to earn money. And her husband temporarily lost work as a farm laborer. That meant providing enough food for Angela became even more difficult. Now crying, Luisa added, “I don’t know where we’re going to get our next meal from. I said, ‘God, please help us.’”
Then thanks you, CBN’s Orphan's Promise launched a feeding program in Angela’s village. For the next year, we’ll provide two healthy meals a day for kids while they attend school. Plus, we’ll provide free medical check-ups, school supplies, and teach the children about the Bible through Superbook. The program is already paying off.
“Before the the program she was sickly and doesn’t eat well,” said the now smiling Luisa. “Now she is healthier and has gained weight. She never misses school, and her grades are better. She is even learning Bible verses.”
“Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right,” recited the beaming 6-year-old.
“I am so happy i can’t even explain this joy. Thank you so much!” declared Luisa.
“Thank you very much, I love you all!” added the adorable Luisa.
