A miracle happened in the one of mountain valley of North Korea.It was such a pity and sad thing to watch the eyes of children that are out of focus and face frowned because of hunger, wrinkled face that has dull texture with lean arm that flesh is barely left on arm and legs and swollen up belly from fasting. This is how ‘Ji-Hye’ looked when we first met her during August. “ Hope we can restore back smile in her face…”
Mother of ‘Ji- Hye’ has came to us by resisting the staff who tried to stop her showed the urgent facial feelings about her daughters life and actions such as ignoring her safety revealed the love of mother have made us feel in with somber.

We have given her description how to feed ‘Ji-Hye’ the Love soup for children (officially named as ‘Nutrinut’) by mixing with baked corn soup (the food which is taken by rural people of North Korea). As ‘Ji-hye’ she never tried decent food in her life before and she vomited out the Nutrinut, it demanded her to eat the Nutrinut continuously which will requires her to take effort.
One month later, we visited ‘Ji-Hye’ with hope and worrisome and we came to face successful result. ‘Ji-Hye’ previously couldn’t barely stayed in her mothers holding arms and barely make speak out, she restored her gain weight back by 1kg and she could express some feeling on her face. We could find hope in her mother’s smile. Moreover, North Korean began to feel the need of Nutrinut after seeing the amazing result, and allowed us to examine the 70 children who are in severe malnutrition then feed the Nutrinut accordingly.

During last November, we took third-visit and Ji-hye and her mother was waiting for us with big and large smile on their face gave us strong belief in our faith of Nutrinut. Not so surprisingly, after one and a half month later, Ji-hye has gained 1.5Kg more from preview weight, which was a normal weight for average children should be. We perplexed whether it was a same child of not, as Ji-hye’s healthy figure gave us overwhelmed happiness and touched our feeling.
Moreover, the other 70 children who was given ‘Nutrinut’ previously also gained weight by 1kg more in average and close to recovering stage, which proved the how much Jesus loves the children. ‘ Yes, you are the Christmas present send by Jesus!’ As we looking at the sparkling eyes of children we felt as if we have washed out all the hardships and difficult memories for last three and a half month of traveling the China and North Korea regions.
Due to successful result of sample test will allow to send lot more ‘Nutirnut’ to North Korea than before. I truly wish Nutirnut to become a life saving Christmas gift.
