With your support and votes, Love Without Boundaries was one of the lucky winners!!

Many of you have heard about the recent recall of Sanlu brand formula in China. It is impossible to know all of the orphanages that may have used this brand, but we can let you know that our LWB nutrition program uses only Nestle Nestogen or Lactogen; and Wyeth S-26 or Gold brand formulas.

Making a List, Checking it Twice

No, we’re not talking Santa Claus here, just our wonderful nutrition managers! Our local managers have the very important job of visiting the orphanage or foster homes where we have nutrition programs to weigh and measure each child so we can make sure they are all healthy and gaining weight.
