THE FEEDING OF THE 400

Following the devastating earthquake in sourthern Peru, the Vine Trust funded several feeding stations. Some of the most vulnerable children are now receiving 2 good meals a day

Paul Clark writes, 'These children are being fed 2 good meals a day at our soup kitchens. Just an hour ago I had a phone call from Marco, our schools worker in charge of the distribution of food. He asked permission to move one of the four feeding centres, because the bulldozers have come into the area to remove the rubble. The Government is, I believe, in spite of the news contrary to this, doing its best. There always has been corruption here, and so it is sad, but not surprising to see donated food and clothing being sold.'
