Last summer and fall many of you donated to the Medika Mamba fund-raising project. I promised to keep you up to date on how your dollars made it to the hungriest little ones in Haiti.
Up until January 12th I did a decent job of that. Since then, I admit that I have not done as well with reporting back to you as I hoped. I won't make excuses, I'll just say I am sorry and ask that you take a look at some of the amazing success stories here at the RHFH blog.
To see more kids treated and recovered, visit this March 2010 post.
Medika Mamba is a product produced in Haiti. It is a vitamin fortified high-calorie ready to eat Peanut Butter product. We love that we can buy a locally made product and use it to help severely malnourished kids. We have an amazingly solid partner in RHFH and their in-patient Medika Mamba program produces astounding results. They have treated many, many children with the product. One 60 to 90 day treatment is approximately $100. RHFH has reported that they've never worked with a product that turned kids around so quickly.
Medika Mamba is my favorite program that World Wide Village, Inc. is funding. I believe in the product and have seen first-hand that it works miracles.
(Same child as above - 3.5 months later @ 25lbs.)
If you wish to contribute to the purchase of Medika Mamba and help malnourished kids recover please go to www.worldwidevillage.org and donate now.
- Mesi to all who have funded this product and all who will do so today.
- Mesi to Meds and Food for Kids for producing a great product IN HAITI.
- Mesi to RHFH for their hard hands-on work with these kids.
- Mesi Anpil to God for sustaining and healing these precious little ones .

For those wondering about Rey -- he is holding his weight (26lbs last report) and has been checking in at RHFH once a month. Continued prayers for his family.
Wow! Thanks for the update (with links to more updates).

What a sweet little boy. I can hardly believe he was that tiny. Medika Mamba saved his life along with an amazing God, not to mention a lot of hard work and encouragement from all of you. With all of that going for him, he couldn't help but come out victoriously. Thanks for the update!
That is great news about Renald! I had been wondering how he is doing. Continuing to pray for his well-being...
Guys,
I'm throwing a huge "baby shower" for several orphanages in Haiti in my hometown. I'm planning on having areas set up where guests can learn about more ways to coninue to help kids in Haiti. I think it would be awesome to have an area set up for Medica Mamba. Who can I contact to get more information about the product and ways to support it?
Hi Kari-
I am unsure what we (WWV) might have for print media - but you can email pmortensen@worldwidevillage.org
There is a Youtube video of the boy in this post -- showing him at 13 lbs and along his way to recovery if you want that it is at this link:

I would be happy to talk with you about it if you'd email me with a phone number I can call to try to answer any questions you have.
