Gifts and Nutrition

 I met a man at the Orphan Summit who comes to Africa and distributes Moringa tree seedlings.  He brought us about 80 on Saturday.  He shared with Miriam how they are to be planted and cared for.  These trees are extremely nutritious.  Some of the trees you let grow tall so they will continue to produce seeds.  The rest you cut when they are about 5-6 ft tall.  Then you harvest the leaves which then grow back in about 6 weeks for the next harvest.  The leaves are dried, crushed and then added to food as a great supplement.  I'll keep you posted on how well the seedlings do.
