The Most Important Catalog in the World

Did you get the greatest gift catalog in the world, The Heifer International's Living Gift Catalog, in the mail today? Christmas is just around the corner (I know it's hard to believe) and you'll be sorting out your naughty or nice list. Ties, socks, gadgets, widgets and toys, are nice but why not buy a gift that will change someone's life.

Heifer 101

Posted by Gena On Friday, May 08, 2009 0 comments
On Saturday May 2nd eight dedicated volunteers attended the Seattle offering of Heifer 101. We were presented with many facts and figures about world hunger in general and about how Heifer works towards its goal of ending this tragedy. For some of us it was an introduction to how Heifer works. For others it was a review - but from my perspective, a review that excites and energizes me all over again. Based on the questions that were being asked by both newcomers and seasoned volunteers, it seemed that everyone was wanting to embrace Heifer's mission of ending hunger and poverty in the world.

We enjoyed a tasty lunch of soup, salad, and bread, with yummy cookies as a treat.

Thanks, Eliza, for all your work in putting this workshop on. It was well worth it.

Unite For Hunger And Hope

April 29, 2009

Objective:
All you have to do to help end world hunger is to join thousands of others bloggers on April 29 and write a post about world hunger.

BlogCatalog members and Heifer International are partnering to call for the end of world hunger and start of hope on April 29. All we ask is that you join thousands of other bloggers and write a post about world hunger on April 29. You can make a difference.

• Right now, more than 500 million people are living in "absolute poverty" and more than 15 million children die of hunger every year.

• World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the population is underfed and another third is starving.

• Even in the United States, 46 percent of African-American children and 49 percent of Latino children are considered chronically hungry.

Organizations like Heifer International are the solution. Every day in April, Heifer International is lifting people out of poverty by providing communities with livestock and agricultural training to improve lives and inspire hope. What can you do?

• Join this event and add a badge to your blog before April 29.

• Watch for upcoming news releases and topic backgrounders.

• Visit Heifer International to learn more about Pass On The Gift.

• Make a small donation or take some other action to end world hunger.

• Post about world hunger on April 29 with links to solutions all over the world.
