SPECIAL TO THE CHRONIC! >
Curbing the spread of
disease by using basic
health measures like hand
washing may seem like a
simple thing for us, but for
children on the island of
Nias, off the coast of
Sumatra, Indonesia, it has
made a world of difference
in their daily lives.
When Matt Hackworth
comes to the local CROP
Hunger Walk Awards
Reception on Feb. 22, he
will share personal stories
about how he has seen the
funds from CROP Walks
make^ difference in many
countries, including families
on this small island.
Crop Walks are commu
nity-wide events sponsored
by Church World Service
and organized by local con
gregations and agencies to
raise funds to end hunger at
home and around the world.
The reception will cele
brate the teams and individ
ual walkers who together
raised over $105,000, mak
ing The Winston
Salem/Forsyth County

going to Crisis Control
Ministry and Sunnyside
Ministry, and 75 percent
going to Church World
Service.
In Nias. Church World
Service created a school cur
riculum to teach children
and their families about
hand washing and other san
itary measures. The results
were healthier children and
less school days missed due
to illness, dramatically
improving school atten
dance. This is just one of the
many programs funded by
CROP Hunger Walk dollars
that help communities have
clean water and wells, seeds
and tools and educational
opportunities, helping com
munities to become more
self-sustaining.
Hackworth. creative
manager of Church World
Service, spent 12 years as a
journalist prior to joining
CWS, where he initially
focused on domestic disas
ter response communica

involved in the agency's
response to Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita, as well as
other US disasters.

Awards Reception will be
held at 5:30 p.m. at St.
Timothy's Episcopal

Local woman
writes cookbook
SPEC1AI rp fME CHRONICI I
Yolanda Richardson Vereen. a Fayetteville native who
now lives Walkertown, has penned a cookbook and launched
a recipe web site inspired by her grandmother and mother.
The titles of the web site (w ww.madeasrecipebox.com)
and cookbook. "Madea's Recipe Box," refer to the name she
called her maternal grandmother. Mary Carter King.
The book includes handwritten images of recipes from
Madea and Vercen's
mother, both of whom
were born and raised in
the Bayou of Louisiana
and passed their love of
food preparation down to
her.
Although her mom
and grandmother inspired
her to cook, most of the
195 recipes in the book
were developed by
Vereen, who often experi
ments with flavors and
textures and prepares her
Yolanda Richardson Vereen
own interpretations ot dishes that she has experienced in her
worldwide travels with her Army veteran husband.
"I can go out to eat at a restaurant. oriJer a dish and tell
you with a 99 percent degree of accuracy what the ingredi
ents are. II I really enjoyed it. I have been known to repli
cate it at home within a week or two," Vereen said. "I am
pretty sure that my husband and adult sons are growing
Weary of being my guinea pigs."
Vereen, who holds a number of degrees and certifications
in food service management, has worked in the food service
industry in a number of capacities. She is currently taking a
break from the industry to work on the web site and cook
books. She is currently working on a follow-up to "Madea's
Recipe Box." which is available at www.madeas
recipcbox.com and www.amazon.com.
