Thank you for this very informative post Merlyn. Good news-International Medical Corps made it to the top five of the AMEX challenge so we will at least get 100,000 for malnourished children. We are shooting for the top prize of 1.5 million, and now need to vote again before Oct. 14 when the winner is announced. We are so close, we can do it! Thanks again.
