The Good News

The title of this section is called "The Good News" because this blog is about the amazing things people do to help others, and isn't that good news? I now have a few helpers of my own to keep this blog going. Hopefully you can use this as a resource when you are looking for ways to help or share your talents.

Chicks4Children

Can chickens save the world?  According to this non-profit, they can do a great deal of good by saving lives.  “Chicks4Children is a sustainable campaign from Global Family Philanthropy to end hunger and poverty worldwide.” (chicks4children.org)
Chicks4Children is very similar to Heifer International in that they both work towards sustainability and sharing.  With chicks4children, we’re talking only about chickens.  Recipients of the chickens are educated in the areas of sustainability, farming, agriculture and business.  The idea is for families to eventually have their own coops and share the offspring with others.
The website is very cute and informative:  http://chicks4children.org/

The following website is for Global Family Philanthropy.  This organization continues to help those in Haiti.  There is so much to learn from this site:  http://www.globalfamilyphilanthropy.org/

How can we get involved?:
·         For $10, share a hen
·         For $25, buy a flock
·         For $100, fill a coop
·         For $500, build a coop
·         For $1,000, provide a sustainable program


“Results to be proud of.  Children are nourished.  Gardens flourish.  Families are empowered.  Communities are built.  We all win.  We all give.  We are grateful.” (chicks4children.org/about/)
