Dear Sir, Madam:

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7,7”

Sowing Seeds for the Future Foundation (SS4FF) is a nonprofit organization in the State of Minnesota, working towards the health and education of Children in Colombia.  Donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE (EIN: 41-1960080).  The following are some of the projects we are doing:

1. Acquire a Soy Milk Cow, a machine to process soy to make soy milk, made by Prosoya in Canada, at a cost of $100.000 USD.


2. Funds to provide 100.000 water filters to Choco homes. (see info on bottom).

3. Start planting Moringa trees in every house in Choco.

Your assistance will be exceedingly important for a region with the highest infantil mortality of Colombia. Seven out of 10 children have anemia and severe malnutrition. Enclosed is some information:

We are writing to you to help us to raise funds to buy the Soy Cow, and the water filters to send to Choco.
