Hey everyone in
We are going to start a “New start-baby food project”.
This is a new idea that Charlene and I have come up with to help with the nutritional needs of the babies at the children’s home (age 6 month to 3 years old)
Many of the babies are underweight, malnourished and have a condition called fetal alcohol syndrome (among other skin conditions and health problems).
These babies have been feed dirty water from the street most of their lives.
Some of the babies are almost close to death when they arrive at the home. Now that the babies are in the orphanage, the care is much better but they now need extra nutrition to help them grow and become healthy.
In an effort to help tackle this problem, COLORS needs assistance to obtain nutritional foods for the babies. Milk powder, cereals and other special baby foods; items such as these are three times more expensive here in the D.R. then in
Good news:
My mom, Terry Choyce is meeting me for a week in
She is currently collecting this much needed baby food to bring with her. We are hoping to get enough to last the orphanage for at least the next few months to give the babies a jump start in nutrition. “The New Start-Baby Food Project.”
We are placing priority on these items so the babies will have a longer term supply of food once COLORS is out of the D.R. in late January (stocking up!).
What to donate:
Powdered baby milk
Pablum
Cereals
Chewable vitamins
*Any light weight baby foods with a high nutritional content
(Children’s light cotton Underwear and Socks are also needed)
What you or your group can do: Collect baby food
If you would like to start a project collecting baby food for the orphanage,
