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.
