Transcript of Open your eyes- new presentation jam 2013
This might be an eye opener…….
Come and see what JAM ANGOLA is
doing in 2013
Here is a quick look at who we are, what we do, where we live and work in Angola.
Take a few minutes and join us on this trip through Benguela Province
We are a team of individuals who work to support school
feeding and help vulnerable women and children.
Like any team, JAM Angola is made up of different people
from different backgrounds with different jobs to do
What do we do?
1. We work in primary schools. We feed about 270,000 children in schools in Benguela Province, 530 km south of the Capital city of Luanda.
2. These children are in about 470 schools in all of Benguela’s Districts
Thanks to a variety of different donors we are
able to support malnutrition centres and hospitals
throughout Benguela Province
Supporting all of these activities are qualified staff who plan activities , unload cargo, prepare transportation, pay invoices and monitor what is going on in the schools and establishments we work with and support. In the next few slides we will talk about the different aspects of our work and the beneficiaries that we serve throughout the year.
Receiving Commodities
As you may know, the most important part of food we receive comes as a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture in a program known as McGovern Dole. The food is shipped from the United States to the Port of Lobito where it is unloaded from the vessel and then driven to our warehouses in Benguela. The food will be stored there until it is shipped out to field warehouses and about 470 schools in the province. Here are some pictures of unloading that took place last week.
This is a picture of the Sheila McDevitt, the ship that
brought the food from the US

Can you see the stevedores?

On an average day when we unload a vessel like the Sheila McDevitt
about 50 people are involved from sunrise to sunset
JAM Warehousing : Clean and Neat
Working in the field – Here are some pictures of our
beneficiaries – Schoolchildren at Escola do Pato in Caimbambo

Children in Malnutrition Clinics
Some malnourished cases are severe as you can see
Receiving and Preparing Therapeutic
Milk in Sumbe
In many areas where we work there is little or no
water. There was a serious drought in Benguela
Province in 2012
We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about wells:
this year we should be drilling in 2 Provinces
We should also have new sources of funding to support these activities
in 2013
JAM Angola transportation fleet
Sometimes other methods are used
Many different donors have offered support
in late 2012 and early 2013: Fazenda
Boaventuranca in Sumbe
Fazenda Boaventuranca again:
supplying onions for hospitals
Delivery to Hospitals
Shoprite Supply of Food for
our beneficiaries
Arrival and distribution of food from
Shoprite at Christmas time
But any organization anywhere is only as good
as the people who work there.
Here are a few pictures of your colleagues working in
Angola: On the left Daniel, supervisor in Cubal and on
