Our Work Learn how giving a Heifer gift can lift an entire community out of poverty. To End Hunger & PovertyHeifer's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. With gifts of livestock and training, we help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as "living loans" because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace. Read some of the inspiring Success Stories from our partners around the globe that have had their lives changed as a result of Heifer's work. Help provide livestock, seeds, or training to a family struggling with hunger and poverty. Bringing an End to World Hunger Through Unimaginable Blessings Today, millions of people who were once hungry will be nourished by milk, eggs and fresh vegetables.Families who for generations knew only poverty will be building new homes and starting businesses.

And people who never thought they’d be in a position to help someone else will be experiencing the joy of charitable giving. How is this possible? With Heifer’s proven approach – more than 65 years in the making – to helping people obtain a sustainable source of food and income. Cornerstones guide our efforts to end world  hunger and care for the earth. Long-Term Solutions emphasizing community involvement distinguish our work from that of global relief organizations.“Passing on the Gift” means recipients agree to share the offspring of gift animals with others in need, making them equal partners with Heifer in the fight to end world hunger. Environment and Sustainable Development is taught to our project recipients to help them achieve sustainable agricultural production. Animal Well-Being guidelines are strictly reinforced with professional veterinary training staff. Disaster Rehabilitation, with long-term, sustainable development the goal of Heifer's rehabilitation projects. How We Measure Success shows how people's lives have permanently changed since Heifer came along.

We meet Thursdays at 10:00 – 10:15 a.m. at St Marks Episcopal Church, 2024 South Collins Street (just north of Pioneer). Bring a couple of insulated containers (insulated bags are good). Also bring a map, since the route might of changed a little since the last time you were there. Our route is mostly east of the church, with the majority at an apartment complex at New York and Arkansas.

3. District Governer Paul Monthly Update Whether through the programs of the Rotary Foundation or individual World Community Service initiatives, Rotarians are continually finding ways to reach out and make a difference. This year has seen tremendous growth in number and size of INTERACT clubs in our district and much of it seems to be tied to the “International Baccalaureate Curriculum” in high schools. They have recognized that our Rotary goal of “World Understanding” is consistent with their mission of “promoting intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century.” District and International events throughout the year are designed to help increase “World Understanding.” So, we hope that our district Rotarians will plan to take advantage of the these opportunities, which include the District Conference (May 6 & 7) celebrating the annual accomplishments of our clubs and the Rotary International Convention in New Orleans on May 21, which will also add a unique opportunity for an amazing international perspective. Thank you for all you are doing in Rotary Service, —Paul It has been a joy this year to see and hear about the amazing humanitarian and educational programs you are doing that strengthen and benefit our communities and promote high ethical standards in vocational and private lives. This spirit of Rotary service has also expanded beyond local communities and Rotarians are seeing the world as their community. The Rotary theme for February is “World Understanding.” Members and clubs of our district are very active in living up to this ideal with a wide variety of activities and experiences. Involvement of Rotary teams in 2010-11 include: National Immunization Days in India and Nigeria, Ambassadorial scholars to Chile and Mexico, youth exchanges on multiple continents, disaster relief, humanitarian grants, friendship exchanges, Rotary Fellowships and much more. Recently I traveled with a Wichita Falls team to Haiti where we witnessed firsthand the earthquake devastation. While we were there we met with local Rotarians to discuss the potential for improving living conditions in many practical ways. Soon teams led by the Denton and Metroport clubs will be on the way to Nicaragua to continue their ongoing passion for relieving suffering and improving living conditions in that area. A team lead by Arlington will be making another visit to Honduras this spring to help improve water and sanitation for the people of Mosquitia where our efforts have been saving thousands of young children. In March and April our district will exchange Group Study Teams with New Zealand and you will be able to get to know them through club visits and at our District Conference. Send makeup information (time & place) to the Sergeant at Arms on the next Monday meeting, or to Stacy Callaghan at: anrsecretary@yahoo.com (also a good email for other secretary or newsletter items) Local Make Up Meeting Locations Tuesday-Noon Arlington West Shady Valley Country Club Tuesday-6:00pm Arlington Sunset J.
