Montgomery, chairman of the Reliv Kalogris Foundation, attended the
dedication ceremony, and said, "Reliv distributors and employees
raised the funds for the new building at a charitable walk during
our international conference in St. Louis last August. Their
generosity made this building possible." The Bois Lance feeding
center eventually is expected to serve 500 children daily. In
addition: -- Volunteers built the feeding center and schoolroom
using materials bought with funds from the Reliv Foundation. -- The
Reliv Foundation already donates free nutritional supplements to
6,600 malnourished children in Haiti every day, served at 22
locations. -- The children receive Reliv Now(R) for Kids, a
supplement that contains a broad base of essential vitamins,
minerals and micronutrients necessary for healthy growth. "The
Reliv Foundation also supplies free bio-sand water filters to its
Haitian feeding programs," said Montgomery. "The bio-sand water
filters provide the children with safe drinking water, which is
otherwise unavailable." The Bois Lance feeding center is the second
built in Haiti by the Reliv Foundation; the first was built in
Liberale. Reliv Foundation charitable walks in 2007 and 2008 in St.
Louis raised the funds to build the Haitian feeding centers, along
with two more feeding centers built in the Philippines. The next
charitable event, called the "Walk for the Mission," is scheduled
for Aug. 15, in downtown St. Louis. About the Reliv Kalogris
