(Narrator) It's a country where four out of five
people live in poverty.
(Carol Piton) I believe and trust in God every day
and for God to provide.
But I never know exactly how he's going to provide.
(Narrator)In Haiti,hunger causes more than physical strain.
(Schiiller Ganlouis) When I cannot feed my children and
take care of my wife, I feel less than a man,
and even sometimes less than a human being.
(Narrator) Here, children eat mud cakes made in the
streets, just to have something in their stomachs.
But students at this school in Cite Soleil have healthy
lunches thanks to Stop Hunger Now, a U.S.
group that sends meals to developing countries.
(Whitney Louis) About 90 percent of the children
who come here to the school come without food.
And the only food that they will eat is what
we serve at the school.
(Narrator) Three-hundred-seventy-five
thousand meals packaged during Stop Hunger Now's
record-breaking "Million Meals" event were sent to Haiti.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief
helped sponsor the event.
Still, doctors say the cycle is hard to break.
(Lisette Dimanche) In many cases, the child is
malnourished because the mother is malnourished.
(Narrator) These meals do more than satisfy young appetites.
They can be a key to success in school.
(Whitney Louis) As a teacher, you know exactly
the children who have not had anything to eat when they come.
It's very difficult to get through to them.
(Narrator) Thanks to this effort, more lessons are learned
and lives are definitely changed.
(Lee Warren) If you can save or help one, then it's worth it.
And what we see here with Stop Hunger Now, we are
helping so many children.
