Children having a nutritious meal at the feeding center in San Benito, a small rural area near Tipitapa. In 1990, before this center opened, children here were severely malnourished, near starvation. This center is one of the first projects of the VWS.

This child was found sleeping on a park bench in Tipitapa by the director of Los Chavalitos Farm-School. Now he has a loving "family," a bed and good meals. He attends school, learns social skills, plants and harvests produce, and cares for farm animals.
Students in the classroom at Los Chavalitos are delighted to have a visiting teacher, Dr. Lanny Smith, President of Doctors for Global Health, present a lesson that day.
