	Project goal exceeded !! (oh yeah!) Salva Vita began as a project of St. Edward High School (Lakewood, OH) student Keven Lenahan. Keven sought vitamins and the cash donations to transport them. And did he ever succeed! Here is the amazing journey - and the company that made it happen, NBTY, Inc.

	^ The students each brought a bag of 50 lbs.
	> The COAR clinic doctor reviews the Children's Multi-vitamin label and calculates the doses
	^ Finally - all the kids get their vitamins at the big celebration.
	^ What's wrong with this picture? The lack of food staples. What makes it OK? Starting to fill with vitamins once the container cleared customs. Thanks NBTY!		^ Miguel has underformed teeth (they're really, really little) from early malnutrition. Fellow St. Ed student, Trent, makes a friend and brings the vitamins that will improve Miguel's smile.
	^ More of the COAR children who will benefit from healthy skin, bone, immune systems, brains, and feeling better.
	> There were sooo many vitamins that we could share. Fr. Paul Schindler will take some for his folks at La Libertad. The clinic at Chiltiupan received some, and many other clinics in San Salvador hope to send trucks and vans.
