The Fourth Grade Wants to End World Hunger

The fourth grade is supporting Heifer International during the Outreach Gift Fair, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending world hunger and poverty. Founded after the Spanish Civil War by Dan West, an American farmer who was sent to Europe to help distribute food to starving people, he came home thinking how much more sensible it would be to provide hungry people with a way to feed themselves, rather than giving them food which would soon be gone.
His idea was to send livestock – originally pregnant heifers – and people to train local farmers how to care for them. When the mother animal gave birth, the baby was also to be given away in the community so that the gift would keep on giving. Goats, which are easy to raise and which often produce twin offspring, are a wonderful life-changing gift to people in poor rural areas. Often, the milk from the goat not only provides nutrition for the family, but also extra income which allows the children to go to school, and the family to purchase clothing, books and other things to enrich their lives.
