You move 5 tons and what do you get?

Sore arms, a sore back and a warm, fuzzy feeling. Spent 4 hours this A.M. at our dairy helping prepare 10,500 lbs of Atmit for shipment to Ethiopia. That's 250 50-lb bags. They say 2 pounds of this porridge can save a life. So today I helped 5,000 people stay alive. I could think of worse ways to spend a morning.

That's a lot of carrying! Good work though, I hope it gets to where it needs to go, nice and safely. I know there's lots of political issues aid needs to circumvent to reach the people that need it.
