From the Paper:

"If Feed the Children wanted to get much more complicated they could use the mission statement to discuss the fact that they deliver almost 200 million pounds of food on an annual basis to 65 nations including the United States. While this would put a lot of information and punch into the mission statement. it would go against expert advice that dictates the mission statement not be used to brag about a business or organization's accomplishments."
