Good morning.
I received this yesterday from my friend Scott. I asked him for information regarding donations to this cause. The name and address follows. Please keep these folks in your prayers.
Thanks,

Hello friends,
Some of you may know Rick Sadler, our friend who leads a ministry based in Charlottesville. I went to Uganda with him last February. I don't share everything with everyone but I felt to share this one. Pray if you will and give if you are so led.
Thanks for your time and prayers,
Scott/E.W.

Subject: Update from Mission LINK International
Friends of Mission Link:
Terrible Crisis! There is a terrible shortage of RICE and the price has gone off the chart. Our friend in the mid-west purchased their last load of rice at $38.95 per 100 pounds. That is double what we paid 15 months ago. We need to order between 20.000 & 30,000 pounds. Best Price is $34.00 plus shipping. We are in the process of packaging food for Tanzania to be shipped to our warehouse in Kigoma (West Tanzania). This shipment (upwards of 285,000 meals) will end up at the refugee camp near the Congo border.
Pray:
We will need extra funds to purchase RICE.
Our storage building is almost out of room; pray that we will be able to find an alternative.
With the world food shortage, prayer that people will capture the vision of helping us feed hungry children.
Thank you for taking the time to read this brief update. God bless you so much.
Thank you for your listening ear and prayers.
In Him and for Him,
Dr. Rick Sadler, President
