End World Hunger and Sew

In addition to sewing and teaching sewing, I believe in leaving the world a better place than when I arrived here. At the very least, I believe in helping our fellow Earthlings. When I teach sewing, I hope I am giving my students a hobby to enjoy, hopefully increase their self esteem, give them a way to help others through their new sewing talent, and sometimes a way to make money too. These websites, in their own way, help our fellow Earthlings by improving their situation. http://www.heifer.org/ http://www.wfp.org/ http://www.freerice.org/ Free Rice is great for school kids because you answer questions and donate rice at no cost to you! Great for adults too because the questions can be challenging depending on your level. World hunger is unacceptable. We can help.

Why I donate to Heifer International

This is actually related to sewing. I donate to Heifer International for several reasons. One, I've always wanted chickens and goats but realize, in my area, thats not going to happen. Two, I needed a gift for my 90+ year old grandmother, and she used to own chickens. Three, I believe in making the Earth a better place whenever possible and helping out my neighbors on the planet. Four, as with teaching sewing, a gift from Heifer International keeps on benefitting the recipients with increased self esteem, and a way of helping to support their families. H.I. focuses on community and education, ending hunger and poverty. Mental poverty ends. H.I. is improving women's status in their families and laying the ground work for self-impowerment. And lastly, yes I am 90 percent vegetarian, but I realize not everyone in the world is. I give trees, chicks (for eggs), and goats (for milk, cheese).
