I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce you to a ministry that my brother and 2 others started in Effingham, IL called Feed the Crave. Â They just returned from a trip to Costa Rica where they were able to deliver 3,015 meals and a rice huller to immediately benefit an orphanage in Jobo! Â (You can see pictures on their Facebook page.) Â I am super excited to be doing a photo fundraiser with them on April 2nd in Effingham, IL to raise additional funds for them to continue this ministry! Â I will be doing short little 15-20 min photo mini-sessions, and you will receive 10 edited images on CD. Â If you are in the mid-Illinois area and are in need of some updated pictures, this is a great opportunity to have photos done, and help a great cause! Â Just send me an email (clickphotodesigns@gmail.com) if you are interested and I’ll forward you the info! Â
And, if you aren’t in that area, but would still like to know more about Feed the Crave and help out, be sure to visit their webpage (http://www.feedthecrave.org) where you can donate a specific amount, purchase meals to donate, buy t-shirts that are used to fund the ministry, etc.  You can also find out information about how to host a meal packing event at your church!  Here’s an excerpt I took from their webpage, but I do encourage you to visit the page also:
Nearly 2 people die of starvation or related diseases every second. That means that in the last hour 6,444 people have died of hunger; today 154,656 people will die of hunger; and in the year 2010 56,449,440 people will die of hunger. The saddest part of this story is:
STARVATION IS 100% PREVENTABLE.
Feed the Crave Ministries is dedicated to feeding the hungry of the world so that they can come to know their savior. For just $0.30 you can provide a nutritional meal for a hungry person in the world. Â That meal will provide them with all of the vitamins & minerals that they need to survive another day.”
Wow -$1 can feed a person for a day… I hope the photo fundraiser will be a fun way to feed many more than that. Â Please help me spread the word to book all these mini-sessions so we can help make a difference in someone’s life!
