CONCLUSION<br />I’m going to send soy flour. It is better because<br />Soy flour is better then quinoa flour because<br />12 million people across the region need food aid, however we can only send 200 lbs becausewe havelimited funds of only 600$. <br /> Even if we are able to get food and supplies to the main ports of Somalia, I think there is a real challenge in being able to deliver that assistance.<br />
