In Japan, our sister organization, Second Harvest Japan (2HJ) has been shipping soup mix to our partners in the Philippines. In December 2011, student volunteers from Youth With A Mission International (YWAM) helped 2HJ repack soup mix into small plastic bags so that agencies down in the Philippines can easily distribute the food to hungry families. Thank you, YWAM volunteers!

Volunteers are opening up barrels full of soup mix. They form an assembly line to repack soup mix efficiently.
