An interesting factsheet from the Lutherans and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank that outlines what a ration of food for an individual would look like in a refugee camp or at a feeding station.  It also includes the price of providing this amount of food.   http://www.clwr.org/Get-Involved/documents/RationMealhandout_EastAfrica.pdf

I think measuring out these portions and presenting them  would be a useful comparsion to what we expect to eat every day.

Hope this is useful! VM

Hello
I wanted to let you know about the website developed by PWRDF called http://www.fredsays.ca/
There you will find video messages from Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada and President of the Board of PWRDF.
There are 2 now: "Have you eaten today?" and "It's good to be full of beans".  As well as having a very positive message how we can support and be in partnership with the oppressed, it connects and identifies PWRDF with the Primate and the Anglican Church of Canada.  It also identifies clearly some programs and initiatives to support. There are support materials on the website that you can order.  Please like the site on Facebook.

For some reflection on this program, I look to Rev Laura-Marie Piotrowicz 's writing on the Anglican Church of Canada web site.  Check out her posting  http://thecommunity.anglican.ca/everyday/9152/the-abundance-of-advent/  for a starter.

For those who wish to promote Food for Life in their parishes or communities by holding educational and fund raising events, and who are looking for more background material  on food issues, we hope that this blog and the posts that are made to it, will help.

Hello
Welcome to the blog of the PWRDF Ottawa Unit where we are sharing or asking people to share information where one can find useful information on Food Security appropriate for use in our parishes or broader communities. We hope that you will add a note about what the website contains and a brief discussion on how you used it or see how it could be useful.   Thank you for sharing and we hope that this blog is useful to you.  V
