Your Support In Action
October 2009
Bolivia Eel Ground Mosquito Net
Growing up together
Three young girls share a smile in Sucre, Bolivia. The girls receive health care, nutrition and education support from our local partner IPTK, a non-profit organization that provides quality support and daycare for children of working or job-searching parents. Families also benefit from training and education in social development, disease prevention and nutrition.
Great start to the day
This youngster attending Eel Ground School in New Brunswick is one of many who enjoy a healthy breakfast before settling into his school day, thanks to our individual donors, and our community donor IDRF. Being hungry in school can have a negative impact on student performance so we ensure that good food choices are on the menu first thing every morning.
The Best Gift Ever!
Devina Nalubula and her child demonstrate the use of a moquito net, one of many provided to families in Uganda to prevent malaria. Malaria kills more children under five than any other disease. Providing prevention tools and education is helping save young lives. Watch for your Best Gift Ever catalogue in late October for more vital gifts for children affected by poverty.

Shukare Education empowers girls
Our supporters have changed the lives of many youngsters by connecting them with the education they deserve. One of those children is a young girl in Meki, Ethiopia, named Shukare. She started school at age nine, when she was able to attend a school built and supported entirely by Canadian Feed The Children and our partner organization, AMDO, a school that provides access to education for more than 400 students. Read more and view a video about Shukare. Read more.
