This Month's Issue
Story by V. Michelle Bernard
Adventist Community Services of Greater Washington (ACSGW), with the help of Adventist HealthCare, has started Healthy Child 1000, a program to assist mothers with needs, from conception to the time the baby turns two.
Prior to the new program, ACSGW already provided food and diapers and a monthly food basket to families. Participating families can now receive fresh produce, nutritious shelf-stable foods and baked goods every other week, as well as feminine hygiene items and 100 diapers each month. At weaning, baby/toddler food will be added.

Peach Smoothies

3-4 cups frozen peaches
2-3 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate
5-6 Tablespoons maple syrup (May use more or less to taste depending on level of sweetness desired).
--Whiz all in a heavy duty blender
--Best served fresh, but still delicious when placed in refrigerator over night
--This recipe can be thickened to serve over pancakes, waffles, or as a dip for muffins.
Recientemente WGTS 91.9 recolectó y distribuyó más de 40,000 pañales y toallitas húmedas durante su campaña "Operación Llene la Pañalera". El equipo de WGTS transmitió en vivo desde ubicaciones de Chick-fil-A en Maryland, Virginia y Washington, D.C. En cada parada, los oyentes donaron pañales y toallitas húmedas. También recogieron calcomanías de WGTS, lápices, bolígrafos, blocs de notas y protector solar.
Los pañales y las toallitas fueron enviados al Centro de Mujeres de Rockville en Maryland, al Centro de Asistencia al Embarazo en Virginia y al Centro Luces del Puerto del Ejército de Salvación en Washington, D.C.

Educators have embraced the new frontier of hybrid instruction and have adapted their classrooms in a way that would never have been conceived prior to the pandemic shutdown.
Unexplored Territory
