Ricardo has been a part of Maná de Vida for four years. He recognizes the great value of having nutritious meals every day rather than going hungry. Hungry children have a hard time learning. Ricardo thanks God and Maná for helping him to make good decisions, such as continuing to earn a college degree in computer technology. His family has been transformed by learning to make good financial decisions. Ricardo believes that his father is alive because God brought MDV into his family’s life. He says he has a different attitude, knowing that God exists in his life and in that of his family.
