Thanks to all who responded to the encouragement to write your congressional delegation, urging them to support funding for programs that prevent and treat malnutrition, saving the lives of millions of children. We know that, even before the pandemic, malnutrition contributed to nearly half of all preventable deaths among children under five. And a special shout-out to Clifton Crawford–he was the first to report to the church office that he’d written to ask his members of Congress to support legislation and funding under the Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act. And he’s eleven!
