Vitamins are Essential!

Vitamins are an essential element of a diet, especially when a child is not receiving nutritious meals every day. Children in Ethiopia often lack the basic nutrients needed for their bodies. Many mothers don't have money to buy food for their children, the water may not be adequately filtered, and many children don't have access to health care. But a daily vitamin can make a world of difference! We purchased twenty bottles of children's vitamins from the United States to give to widows caring for children. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it's better than not having anything at all. Additionally, as other missionaries visit families in the area, we are hoping that they will also bring vitamins with them. It's important that we all pitch in to help these children so that they will have an opportunity to live a productive and healthy life.
