Albuquerque Public School (APS) students are experiencing new tastes and flavors and learning a new way of eating, thanks in part to the Agri-Cultura Network. ACN is a group of New Mexico farmers providing food for students in APS schools. 

Public News Service talked to AFSC’s Don Bustos about the farmers and to the schools about students’ reactions to the new tastes.

The people in the Horn of Africa are facing the worst humanitarian situation in the world today.  Somalis are fleeing the effects of conflict and famine and arriving – more than 1,200 people per day – in Kenya.  AFSC is working to meet the needs of those refugees arriving in the Dadaab camps in Kenya.

In the last few weeks, AFSC has worked with our partner Handicap International to purchase walkers and wheelchairs to assist refugees with physical difficulties. This allows them to better access food, water and other necessary items to survive.
