From the Kissy Nutrition Unit: "The cost of living is very high now in Sierra Leone and most parents cannot afford to provide a balance diet for their children. Thus there is a great increase in malnutrition. Through home visitation I found that mothers don't give their right diet to their children so I have to give them health talks and encourage them to bring their malnourished children to the hospital in order to get free food the help them.  Therefore the number of patients have increased."  You can help the children by sending your gift to the Operation Classroom office or by using the credit card donation option on the right of the home  page.
