				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A New Porridge Program is Met with Success While Hunger Remains<br />
</strong></p>
<p>After successfully feeding 200 at risk youth today,<br />
our celebration was challenged<br />
when we found four children huddled together,<br />
digging out of dirty, bacteria laden buckets filled with trash,<br />
for something to eat.</p>
<div id="attachment_2145" style="width: 2073px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://journeytohelpafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Benjamin-Ndegwa-approx-bday-2015-CROPPED-class-PP2.jpg"><img src="http://journeytohelpafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Benjamin-Ndegwa-approx-bday-2015-CROPPED-class-PP2.jpg" alt="Benjamin and his siblings Simon, Mercy and a baby sister are forced to feed from trash for their very survival. " width="2063" height="1422" class="size-full wp-image-2145" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Benjamin and his siblings Simon, Mercy and a baby sister are forced to feed from trash for their very survival.</p></div>
<p>One clutched a piece of rotten mango.<br />
Another held a broken plastic container.<br />
Their torn clothing was sizes too small and caked with dirt.<br />
Their rubber sandals were broken and worn thin.<br />
Any success we felt from serving the needy during this remarkable day waned.  </p>
<div id="attachment_2150" style="width: 2010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://journeytohelpafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Simon-Wachira-cropped-approx-bday-2011-class-3.jpg"><img src="http://journeytohelpafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Simon-Wachira-cropped-approx-bday-2011-class-3.jpg" alt="Simon is hungry.

<p>We are thrilled that we have such generous donors who have helped us provide relief programs for thousands of at-risk children. In addition to porridge, the Matanya’s Hope sponsorship program sends impoverished and orphaned children to boarding school giving them a better chance at life through love and education.  </p>

<p>This story remains critical.<br />
We cannot leave these 4 children by the side of the road.</p>
<p><strong>A MIRACLE IS NEEDED</strong></p>
<p>Please donate what you can.<br />
Every dollar helps. </p>
<p>If you are interested in sponsoring one or more of these children, please inbox us or call: 708-822-HOPE (4673)</p>
<p>Sponsorship improves the lives of at-risk children by sending them to boarding school, providing: food, clothes, shelter and a nurturing environment all for $1,500 a year per child.  </p>
