 Karl Frey's life trajectory




 The distance between Peach Bottom, Pa., and Wajir, Kenya, is 7,800 miles. That also happens to be the distance of Karl Frey's life trajectory, which has arced from growing up Mennonite on his family's Lancaster County dairy farm to helping improve children's health in a drought-stricken area of eastern Africa.

• He lives in Chevy Chase, Md., and works for Save the Children, specializing in food security during emergencies.
• His duties include advising a program in northeastern Kenya that gives pastoralists hit hard by a drought in 2011 and part of last year an immediate and future source of milk.
• It's a farm-to-farm-to-table tale.
  Frey recalls school-day evenings, and weekends in Peach Bottom being bracketed by milking cows and doing chores on the 117-acre farm.
• The Kenya project began about 18 months ago, after a devastating drought in 2011 throughout East Africa that saw crops and herds - sources of income and food - destroyed. It will take years to reverse the impact.
• The project gives vouchers for milk to families,getting milk to those who need most.
• About 1000 people 8000 of them children are getting the vouchers it seems to be helping.
• Frey;s jobs is to look at all of this and suggest how to improve the distribution process and the milk's quality.
• Freys periodically travels to Kenya to talk to project staffers and program recipients.

"The world is big, but still small becouse we still have to rely on a few basic things to make it work"he said.

Expanding Resources

PART TWO:

ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers.
There mision is: to promote the health and development of infants and toddlers.



Early Care and Education






All babies and toddlers need positive early learning experiences to foster their intellectual, social and emotional development and lay the foundation for later school success.
 All child-care arrangements, including family, friend, neighbor, and family- and center-based child care have the potential to provide high-quality, individualized, responsive and stimulating experiences that occur within the context of strong relationships and which are imbedded in everyday routines.
