Collect Change, Fill Bowl, Fight Hunger

It's that simple to help feed a child in need. With the help of Oakbrook this year many children are now getting more meals because of the spare change that was collected. Who would have thought that our spare change would help? I have learned so much from this project. It has been an unbelievable experience that I will never forget. Although I would get stressed out at times it was worth it. From starting this project there is an orphanage in Nicaragua called New Life Orphanage that is now being sponsored by Rice Bowls. When I went a couple weeks ago to Nicaragua we got to visit and it happened to be right at lunch time. The children had rice, chicken, and potatoes to fill their little bellies. It was an incredible sight to see. This project has been such a blessing and taught me to be thankful for all that I have and to also share what I have. I am so thankful that I was able to take part in working with Rice Bowls!
