Orphan date February 2009 Image Butmas.jpg thumb Butmas village upon arrival Butmas is a small community in the island nation of Vanuatu , home to the families of six local clan lineages. The community is composed of around 100 villagers, 50 of which are children attending the local primary school and the village speaks a local dialect, Butmas Tur one of 5 East Santo languages . The village is located on the island of Espiritu Santo , Vanuatu s largest island, and geographically the village is quite central in the interior of the island at a relatively high altitude in relation to the surrounding plain areas. Because it is located above 500 meters in elevation the village attracts much rain and the area is home to a local rainforest that remains free from logging and plays a large role in survival of the people. Living at high altitude also inhibits the growth of many traditional local food crops that the people rely on for sustenance. Thus the population is quite nomadic, moving between gardens at lower elevations and the village above which accounts for the rough population figure given previously. There are 93 individuals that refer to the village at Butmas as their home and another 22 individuals who refer to their garden houses as their permanent homes, though they have houses in the Butmas village and their children attend the school there. Since the village comprises families from a number of clans there is in theory more than one chief in the village. However the chief of Butmas clan, chief Lolos, is acknowledged as the traditional village leader as he is the chief of the ground on which the clans have come together to live. The villagers rely mostly on agriculture and gardening for both sustenance and income generation. The major crops are kava, taro, yams, cabbage, banana, corn, pumpkin, sweet potato, and cucumber. Apart from gardening, hunting plays a very important part in their diet. Their main sources of protein are pig, chicken, cows, river prawns and ... more details

MAZON A Jewish Response to Hunger is an American nonprofit agency dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. MAZON, which means food or sustenance in Hebrew , practices and promotes a multi faceted approach to hunger relief, recognizing the importance of responding to hungry peoples immediate need for nutrition and sustenance while also working to advance long term solutions. This approach symbolizes its desire to embody twin Jewish ideals tzedakah and tikkun olam . Since its founding in 1985, MAZON has awarded grants totaling more than 53 million to organizations representing the entire spectrum of the nation s anti hunger network from Food Bank food banks , food pantries , home delivered meal programs and kosher meal programs to advocacy groups working at the local, state and national level to expand participation in federal nutrition programs and champion responsible government policies that can prevent widespread hunger in the future. MAZON s headquarters are located in Los Angeles, California . Inspiration and establishment The founding of MAZON was inspired by the horrors of the Ethiopian famine of 1985, and was conceived by former Moment Magazine publisher Leonard Fein , who wanted to build a bridge between the Jewish community and millions of hungry people around the world. According to Jewish tradition, rabbis did not allow celebrations to begin until the community s poor and hungry people were seated and fed. Fein s notion was to incorporate this ancient tradition into modern day celebrations such as bar bat mitzvahs, weddings, anniversaries and other joyous occasions, to help feed those who are less fortunate. One way for people to symbolically follow this tradition is to donate at least 3 percent of the cost of the food at these events to MAZON, either directly or through MAZON s many partner synagogues .
