Our vision is great.
The need is greater.
There are three essentials to the heart of this ministry. The first is our determination to have fun. In a world that seems to lurch from one tragedy or disaster to another we need to laugh .. not at the world .. but with one another. Our default position will be joy .. that we have made it this far .. and that we choose to be bound by the premise that levity will bring as much or more change to this world than any negative emotion.
The second essential is faith. We have a deep and abiding belief that we are being called to action at this time and in this place by a force that cannot be denied or ignored. This is a call we choose to answer. It may cost us friendships .. it may cost us family .. it may cost us our lives. It matters not. We will do what we believe we are being called to do. Which is the third tenet of this ministry.
We will do good .. we will explore how to use our many talents and treasures for the good of others .. and we will do so .. to the very best of our abilities. There will be no area that is not open to consideration by our Board of Directors. We may start by feeding hungry children and being farmers .. but whatever area the Board of Directors agrees needs to be considered will be considered and acted upon .. given the consent of the majority.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
MaiKana {my-kah-na}
Malkutha MaiKana (come and eat/be nourished) will provide a nutritious hot meal to each child at each school in Fiji, preferably at breakfast time. Children may need more than one meal, but we will begin with breaking the fast of each hungry child each school day. Our program will be modelled after the Canadian organization: The Breakfast Club (https://www.breakfastclubcanada.org).
A hot meal, at least once a school day, to each child who is hungry. And a cold drink, and some fruit. This will cost about Cdn $2.00 a child per day. Cdn $40.00 per month per child. The average classroom has about 35 children, so to sponsor a classroom is Cdn $1,400 per month.
Local cooks will prepare the nutritious meals at the school and ensure no child is left out. All ingredients will be purchased from local farmers, where possible, supporting the local economy.
All meals will be prepared daily as there is limited availability of cool storage or dependable electrical services.
We will begin in remote rural schools where the need is greatest.
