"If governments around the world were slashing aid, it was time for ordinary people to step in." This story and these words give me the hope that we, the ordinary people, can still make a difference in the world...
This article about wheat to Sudan is just the stuff I want to read. In depth stories are far more interesting to me than lists of statistics. Thank you! Let’s have more like this.
The power of generosity and kindness should be at the heart of everything we do in our lives. Imagine the things we could accomplish if we set this as our standard. We all live in this beautiful planet together. No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.

Wow! I love their initiative and heart for helping the poor who are literally starving. This is truly Christ like behavior! What a great example for humanity in light of all that’s going on in our broken world.
Brilliant piece. Thank you for sharing this story. Extremely grateful to those farmers making a difference. Was there a fundraising link you could share?
