Both proper nutrition and true hope play a role in recovery. At the Morningstar Clinic, we try to fulfill both these needs throughout the year by supplying them with fresh produce, rolls, loaves, and Gospel pamphlets.
Research has shown that the health of HIV/AIDS patients who don’t have access to fresh fruit and vegetables deteriorates more rapidly than those who do have their nutritional needs met. Those who do are able to live longer, happier, and more productive lives.
This Christmas season, in addition to the regular drop-offs, we decided to try and make it special for those coming for checkups and medicine. We made early morning trips on consecutive days, bringing snacks, cool drinks, treats, and presents.
Over 300 families benefited from this initiative, and we pray it made this Christmas more memorable one for each of them!
