Johnny Church (age 7) with his new friend Velusamy (also age 7). While Johnny's mom will tell you Johnny is short for his age, you can see the striking difference in size for the 2 kids even though they are the same age. Malnutrition and poor care have resulted in stunted growth for most of the kids at Miracle Garden. Now, however, they eat 3 meals per day plus healthy snacks, and many of those who came to us in January and February of 2005 are already outgrowing their pants by 2-3 inches!
