the project
These are photos from our summer at the Canaan Orphanage and the nearby village of Montrouis, Haiti. Currently, Joel and I are involved with an effort to raise money for the malnutrition project there. We will be selling prints of these photographs to raise money for the project.
A malnourished and dying Haitian child can literally be saved by receiving a 6-week treatment of "Medika Mamba," a vitamin and mineral enriched peanut butter, for the cost of $98.00 (US Dollars). This recipe and Haitian production facility has been developed by lead pediatrician, Dr. Patricia Wolff, of Washington University and MFK. STATISTICS: *13% of Haitian children die before their 5th birthday because of malnutrition. *1 out of every 3 Haitian children are chronically malnourished (some weigh only 7lbs @ 6 months). *With traditional treatment, only 25% of kids recover, compared to an 85% recovery rate for kids given Medika Mamba! *Simply eliminating hunger with rice, beans, etc. DOES NOT cure malnutrition; only a nutrient-fortified supplement can reverse malnutrition, in most cases. *Haitians have become so desperate to fill their stomachs, they have resorted to eating "cookies" made of dirt, shortening and salt. *Doctors Without Borders is calling for increased use of fortified peanut butter to reduce the 5,000,000 annual, malnutrition-related deaths worldwide.
