Thank you all for sharing your time and talents with Heifer in 2008! Because of you, hundreds of thousands of people will have a better new year. I’m very excited about 2009 and the opportunities we will have to do even more for the world’s poor. No doubt, this year will have its challenges but I believe in our mission, in our message, and in all of you.
How can I be so optimistic? I only need to think of women like Evelyn Manyi Ngufor. Through her participation in a project in Cameroon, Evelyn tells everyone she meets, “I have developed an open heart and mind.” The lives of men, women, and children around the world, like Evelyn and her family – people that you may never meet – are being transformed thanks to your efforts. Every day, I think of the many ways that your volunteering has allowed us to do great things: create productive and sustainable farms, further community development, and improve access to education, health care, and microcredit.
Please think about how your special talents can be used this April to help us Pass on the Gift as we work to make Heifer’s vision a reality in the world. We look forward to changing the world one family at a time, with your help!
