Join the friends of LIFE and be the answer to the cry of those in great need. RANDY: As you see these pictures, I want you to understand that what we're seeing now, especially in Ethiopia, we've seen before. The classic signs of malnutrition are thinning hair, sometimes turning red, and flaky skin. The very obvious physical signs so many times. Oftentimes, there are the pictures of the mothers who work so hard. Or the mothers walking miles and miles for water or for someplace that's got some food. But this is the smile of a child who is in the feeding program right now; a child who is healthy, who is learning, who is able to laugh and to play. And Tammy, I want to see so many smiles. There are so many that need it desperately. It works. We know we can do it when people will join us. TAMMY: Yes! It is possible. Hope is possible.
