RENEWAL
I've used this image before but thought it would be appropriate to this week's word because a scent of lavender can bring renewal.

CANNED Famine Relief


I don't have my art applications this week so I'm reposting an entry I did for 100% (good) in January. Thanks for visiting! ellen

Plumpy'nut, more commonly known as Plumpy, is a peanut-based food for use in famine relief which was formulated by André Briend, a French scientist in 1999.

It is a high protein and high energy peanut-based paste in a foil wrapper that can be distributed to children at home rather than in specialist feeding stations and can be eaten without any preparation. It tastes like a slightly sweeter kind of peanut butter. It is categorized by the WHO as a Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
