D.O.E.R.S.

We took 30,000 children’s multivitamins and 2,000 doses of albendazole to Copan, delivering them to Ellen Finn so she could distribute them through the schools she works at.

Kasey had gotten the inspiration last July to set up a feeding program at a kinder in July of 2009. She had wanted to help kids get an education and she loved feeding people so it was something that came very naturally to her. I was lucky enough to see it when she finalized the pilot program with Ellen. They’d enrich fortilized milk with pediasure in purified water to provide protein, and supplement with seasonal fruits. The kids would also already be getting vitamins and deworming meds so I imagine and hope that there will be a significant improvement in their health and wellbeing. I hope the program works and grows, and I’m very proud of Kasey.
