WHAT IS MANA?
MANA is RUTF (Ready to Use Therapeutic Food),
and it's been designed specifically to treat kids
diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).
RUTF can be broadly defined as peanut butter
mixed with fortified milk in an over-sized ketchup packet.
i think it is insane that children in the U.S. are undernourished.
should we be doing something about it?
absolutely.
and fortunately there are many, many resources out there where we can do something about it.
there are organizations all across the U.S. that help feed the needy.
for child hunger facts in the U.S. and find a way to help out click HERE.
but has anyone ever seen with their own eyes, or snapped a picture of a child living here who looks like this:
this is heartbreaking on so many levels.
and unfortunately places like Africa do not have the resources to help these children.
so they depend on us, the people who aren't living there, to help.
Project M.A.D. is doing something about it. to see how you can help click the link
...and follow their tumblr.
