21:12 [Music] the evidence of lives being transformed by the assistance rendered by the World Food Program presents the daily successes recorded by the beneficiaries in the way they conduct their work and plan for their future this model employed by harvest health and their beneficiaries ensures continuity and even as the beneficiaries are we offer the program's they move into a lifestyle that they can sustain an improvement year by year [Music]
