Seeds of Hope Peru - Nutrition video trailer
Posted by: Sally Gissing
Date Added: January 09, 2013
Many of the children at Seeds of Hope don't get all the vitamins and proteins that they need so it's important that they learn to eat a variety of foods from different food groups. We thought maybe a song might help with this. Our song of choice, a variation of the children's classic B-I-N-G-O, became the base of our new video promoting healthy eating habits. Check out the trailer here and stay tuned for the full version - coming soon to a computer near you. Produced and edited by Sally Gissing.

A little something to say a BIG thankyou
Posted by: Sally Gissing
Date Added: January 09, 2013
For the last few months I have been trying to raise $4000 so that Seeds of Hope can purchase more protein rich food for students, many of which suffer from malnutrition. According to UNICEF in the Ancash region of Peru where Seeds is located 1 in 4 children suffer from chronic malnutrition. This video is a way of saying a big thankyou to all who have supported this fundraising project so far. http://seedsnutritionproject.chipin.com/fighting-malnutritionProduced and edited by Sally Gissing
