It\u2019s always important for any team, organization, family or individual to set goals in order to achieve your intended outcome, that\u2019s why our team at Children\u2019s Hunger Relief Fund and our partners around the world have been setting goals for years!<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This year we hope to continue helping families around the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This past December, we have been honored, thanks to the help of our donors and team, to send life-saving missions all around the world, but none so dangerous as our emergency relief\u2019s team trip to South Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia (A.K.A. The Horn of Africa). Our teams have risked their lives to find children that were literally dying from starvation. They risked everything in order to fulfill their own goal of helping children and their families who might possibly die without their help! By doing so we are honored at CHRF to make one of the greatest impacts we can hope to make in the world, saving the priceless lives of innocent children who before were completely forgotten and helpless.<\/p>\n

\"Together<\/a>
Together we are helping these suffering children!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our team members reported from the field:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe meet with local people who all share the same story in South Sudan – how their village was attacked earlier this year and how they were forced to run for their lives and hide in the swamps for 3 months. One man says, \u2018Come with me, I want to show you my house, it has been destroyed.\u2019 We go and see the remains of a home that was hit by artillery or a tank shell. This is only one of many.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The villages and families living in them had to run for their lives as they were attacked and chased by artillery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I sit with these men and women and look into their eyes as they share their stories, trying to comprehend what they went through, \u2018We had to run to hide in the swamps over 30 miles away but they tried to follow us.\u2019 I ask, \u2018Did you have a blanket or mosquito net, anything, what did you lie on?\u2019 They share with me, \u2018We had nothing, we slept in the sand, we were bitten by insects, we drank from the swamp and caught fish.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Mass<\/a>
Mass destruction has swept this area and now families are desperate for help. By God’s grace we have been able to help many of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What is astonishing about these people is their resilience and their humility; they have not given up hope. The children still laugh and play happily in the sand, some in rags, some without any clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Our<\/a>
Our team off loads food and supplies in villages and areas that had no other help!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like a true miracle for these people, our second delivery arrives.<\/span> Your support has helped make this miracle come true!<\/strong>\u00a0 We deliver our thousands of meals to the neediest families with suffering women and children. I wish you could see their smiling faces now as I can. These moments are truly unexplainable, priceless. It\u2019s simply unbelievable what your support thousands of miles away can help achieve, the hope and life that we can create for others!<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>
These mothers are so grateful for your support!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the leaders steps forward, \u2018You have encouraged us today. You have given our people some hope. We know that we are not alone and forgotten. Thank you.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Thank<\/a>
Thank you for helping smiling children around the world like this precious one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
