One year ago Susan Piontek, host of the "Global Voice", interviewed MFK for her first show. She received so much positive feedback about the program she decided to do a follow up interview with Tom Stehl and Steve Taviner. To listen to this hour long in-depth interview about all the work MFK is doing click here.

 Meds & Food for Kids saves the lives of Haiti's malnourished children by producing and distributing highly nutritious foods, including Medika Mamba, a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food endorsed by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Because of its commitment to Haiti's long-term development, MFK produces Medika Mamba in Haiti, with Haitian labor, and with many Haitian raw materials.

Meds & Food for Kids gets featured in two articles in the St. Louis Beacon, tracking on the ground progress and challenges one year on from the earthquake. Read the introductory article here, and the feature on MFK here. Dr Wolff finds her own drive and inspiration from Haitian resilience and fortitude: "How can I get discouraged when I've seen thankful Haitians who never seem to weary ?"

The media flurry continues around the anniversary of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The St. Louis Post Dispatch features Meds & Food for Kids' work in this article, where Dr. Patricia Wolff and Novus CEO Thad Simons discuss our project to build a new factory in Haiti, and support long-term development with nutritional support for vulnerable children.

Dr. Patricia Wolff appeared on Monday January 10th, 2011, live on St Louis public radio, with a panel of St. Louisians working in Haiti, one year on from the earthquake. Significant progress is being made, despite the challenges on the ground, by all of the groups featured. You can stream the interview by clicking on this link.
