The photos above show some of the kids living in or near the garbage dumps receiving a free bag of hot food. Some of these kids do not eat every day and even if they do, this will be the best meal they have had in a long time - maybe ever. We can't feed them all, but we can feed some and let them know that Jesus and His people care about their situation. The bottom photo shows the food itself. It is cooked in the restaurant of one of our members and delivered by another of our church members who seeks out the very porrest. Most of the parents of these children search through the garbage for anything that can be recycled. They make perhaps $1 or $2 a day. Donations from our friends makes this food distribution possible. Today's cost to us is 50 cents a meal. Food prices have varried over the past few years, but at today's prices, $15 will feed one child one meal a day for a month. In former days is was $18 a month and even as much as $20 a month. Anyone wishing to help with this small program can visit our web site and donate through PayPal or send to our KOI - Kids of Indonesia address. Here is the link to our web site.
