Food For The Farmer
Feet shuffle through muddy fields as callused hands long to feel ripe rice blades.
There is none to be found. Exhausted, the North Korean farmer looks up and wonders
why his crops have failed four years in a row. He hopelessly looks towards the
house and knows his children have empty stomachs.
Living in a country slightly smaller in size than Mississippi, thousands of farmers and their families are supplementing meager rations with ground tree bark as others try to survive by eating grass and straw. According to The World Factbook, even with international aid, North Korea's malnutrition rates are among the world's highest and estimates hundreds of thousands of people have died as a direct result of starvation or famine-related diseases.
OBI wants to help these starving North Korean families survive! By donating just
$100, a family of four will receive enough food for one year! "Our goal is to
sponsor as many families as possible," comments Dick Kohl, OBI's Director of Disaster
Relief. Through a generous donor, the first fifty gifts of $100 will be matched
dollar for dollar. Your initial $100 will then become $200 and will in turn help
two families!
Please help the North Korean farmers and their families through this hardship.
