haiti

a friend of mine from college is about to embark on a journey to haiti. he will be working with malnourished children through an organization called the canaan orphanage. they are working to raise money in order to purchase something called "medika mamba" which is a nutrient-enriched peanut butter that helps in bringing children back to health. i have read extensively on the organization and am 100% supportive of their work in haiti. what cause could tug more at my heartstrings than to help bring children back to health? here is a brief blurb from his personal website:

My name is John Elmore and I will be living in Haiti from April 17th - July 15th, 2008. During my time there, I will be working at an orphanage and transporting/distributing life-saving food to malnourished children, while Chris Hlavacek, CFO of the Kanakuk Institute, manages the ALIVE AT FIVE program from the U.S. side.
