Here is a picture of what Jeremiah eats on a daily basis.
(As posted on the website www.stopgenocidenow.org)
For most in the United States, November is a month to give thanks. On Thanksgiving Day, we gather at our homes and enjoy great food and the company of loved ones. Refugees in and from Darfur have been deprived of a home; many of their loved ones have been killed; and they lack enough of the basics, such as food and water. In solidarity with all of the displaced from Darfur, SGN teammate Jeremiah Forest will participate on a month-long fast, matching his diet to the ones of refugees we have recently visited in the desert. Miah will write daily journals and regularly upload pictures and video, sharing his experience.
Cracked Wheat - Daily, 7 oz. (weight not volume) (686 Calories)

Yellow Split Peas - Daily 1/6 Cup (82 Calories)
Oil - Daily 2.4 TSPNs (96 Calories)
Sugar - Daily 2 TSPNs (30 Calories)
Salt - Daily 1/10 Teaspoon per day.
Total of 1,017 Calories

I am so proud of him and honored to know such a wonderful man! He and his friend Eric are doing a truly awesome thing. When you 1st told me about it, I immediatley started to follow the blog and of course renew my knowledge about the situation of the refugee's. I have joined the cause and am donating $$ to help. I WILL also spread the word. You have an awesome man, no doubt!! God Bless the refugees that this will end soon!
