In severe cases of malnutrition, usually, dark hair can turn red or blonde. This is a symptom of Kwashiorkor, a syndrome that's a sign of critical starvation, often caused by protein deficiency. Kwashiorkor is common during periods of famine and starvation. In the small village of Kangladen, some children are in different degrees of malnutrition;...
“Putting God First.” People nowadays, even many Christians, often forget to “put God first!” The Lord always wants “First Place” in our lives. Many times, Christians put God last, and wonder why He has not answered their prayer. Luke 12:31 says, “But rather seek ye the Kingdom of God: and all these things shall be...
Yonel… We found Yonel in the mountains, during a Mobile Clinic! His grandmother brought him to us. He had been starved and abused by older kids and those in his neighborhood. We never thought he could make it home, to our orphanage. He had Marasmus Malnutrition. It was a long road home back to health....
“And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.” Ecclesiastes 3:13 Every harvest is a joyous occasion at Love A Child when Wilner and the Agricultural Training Center (ATC) staff “reap the fruits of their labor” and deliver fresh, home-grown food to the kitchens that...

They both had severe Kwashiorkor malnutrition, caused by eating the wrong kinds of food. They were in horrible condition, and they would have died. Today, Joseph is...
We know everyone has heard of and seen on TV the stories of the gangs in Haiti and the missionary couple who lost their lives. But poor babies, toddlers, and poor children in Haiti are dying from hunger and malnutrition as a result of the gangs. These are things they “don’t talk about on TV."...
Thank you for your prayers. We landed in Atlanta yesterday with no problems from Haiti via the Dominican Republic. We had a nice dinner with a former missionary of Love A Child named Doug Lackey and his new wife Marianne. We had a wonderful time of fellowship! They are two anointed people of the Lord!...
These are the words of Jesus, “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.” Luke 5:4 Simon Peter had told Jesus, “Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing.” Luke 5:5 When they did what Jesus said, they caught a multitude of fish! They had to ask a...
When I first saw Mackenson in the arms of his father, I thought, “Surely this toddler will die.” But, I was “more than shocked” when I found out that this “toddler” was seven years old! Malnutrition had stolen many years already. We had to bring him back to Fond Parisien and begin the long path...
