Lentils, Spice, Chicken, Rice: The Global Effort that is Saving Children’s Lives in Africa

Beyond the Village

Recently 600 people packaged 136,000 meals at Bellevue Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, Washington. Meal packaging events like this one are hosted all over the United States, thanks to churches, community groups, and individuals who want to help feed children in Africa. But what is the real impact of these meals? Listen in as COTN board member Jackie Lang serves these meals to children in Malawi. Meet a young woman who grew up eating those meals. And discover how much these meal packaging events affect the volunteers themselves. Learn more at cotni.org/meal-packaging.
