Update on a more positive note, full of holiday spirit:
This teacher organized the community and collected enough blankets that each child could have at least one.
I believe at last count was around 775 blankets.
They are also working to deal with the hungry children to make sure this is addressed.
Happiest of Holidays to everyone at BFP!

Reminds us that a lot of kids in America won't have much of a Christmas if they don't even have their basic needs met.
