Sowing Seeds for the Future, a non profit organization incorporated in
Minnesota, USA, is working for the health and education of Children Of
Colombia.  We  have made contact with Soy Doy a Non profit from
Colombia who started a Soy Milk producing plant in Quibdo, Choco currently

serving 300 children only by providing lunch and 2 snacks a day.  However,

2,700 children are still waiting for help to reduce their malnutrition.

A 4000 lts/day Soy Cow produced in Canada by Prosoya costs $90.000 FOB.

Thank you for your generosity.
