providing the children with certain amounts of milk five times daily to replenish protein and vitamins lacking in their diets however while rewarding to help the few children she could tammy claims many did die wonderful experience the most wonderful experience i had with this program involved a little girl i looked after for two months she says for the longest time she didnt respond to
