Meal Packaging Program

One of the blessing of being here is the opportunity to meet so many people, both Dominicans and Americans. Fraser Ratzlaff is here at the Casa. Fraser is on staff with COTN and is in charge of meal packaging projects in the U.S. COTN is now providing meals for the children in the bateys here in the Dominican. This is a year around feeding program. I hope to go with Fraser today to observe the preparation and distribution of a nutritious meal for the kids.

A churches in Florida and California have participated in the Million Meal Marathon, packaging a million meals to send to the children in the various countries served by COTN. These projects also happen on a smaller scale and I will be talking to you about how we can be involved in Friday Harbor. See this link for a video that will give you a look at this fantastic program. http://www.cotni.org/pages/meal-packaging

On another note...all the interns, 4 of them total have arrived at the Casa. We look forward to getting to know each of them. Monique and I had them do their Flag Pages, www.flagpage.com, so we are going to have some fun learning about how to understand each other this summer.

Hopefully I can post some pictures of everyone before the week is completed. Sometimes the internet and power outages prevent me from downloading pictures. We will see how it goes.

Hasta luego mi amigos!
