In May this year, I met a little girl named Arek in New Bongwo, South Sudan. She was severely malnourished and I even wondered if she would live. In June, I appealed to the FARM STEW family for help. Then FARM STEW trainers began working in her village. Recognizing Arek's critical condition these FARM STEW trainers jumped into action, working hard to help Arek and her family. Arek was hospitalized, and with the help of vital nutrients, she began to recover.
With the power that FARM STEW donors supplied, along with the support of the FARM STEW trainers—providing food, medical funds, and care—she is now recovering. After three weeks in the hospital, she is set to return home, where the team will continue assisting her family.
This training also inspired church members and community residents like Arek’s parents to take practical steps for better health. They learned kitchen gardening, with some seeing vegetables like broccoli and purple cabbage for the first time. Demonstrations of innovative methods, like growing food in containers or vertical gardens, sparked excitement and hope for change.
This effort is more than training—it’s transforming lives, bringing health, hope, and sustainability. Arek’s partial recovery and the community’s engagement embody the tangible impact of FARM STEW’s mission to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.
