Breast Milk Shipped to Africa to Help Feed Orphan Children


On a loading dock outside a nondescript warehouse in the sleepy Los Angeles suburb of Monrovia, men and women in suits join mothers with babies strapped in slings and strollers as toddlers race around their knees. As the last pallet of boxes emerges from the warehouse, they break into a spontaneous round of applause.

Inside those boxes is what they affectionately call "liquid gold" — human breast milk donated by mothers across the United States.
