http://rotarnet.com.au/users/9/96452/hunger0808.pdf


The challenge of the theme , MAKE DREAMS REAL, page 1, is followed on page 2 with the GLOBAL PRIORITY of Hunger and on page 3  THINGS WE DO  -  CHANGING LIVES introduces us to the dedication of Heifer International, to relieve hunger and poverty.  

Pages 4 and 5 outline the CHANGING LIVES -  MULTIPLE BENEFITS FROM A DONATION and on page 6 Heather points out that the Group is responding to President D K Lee's emphasis to reduce child mortality and alleviate hunger by encouraging partnerships with ongoing projects.  The facility established by Heifer International is an ideal means of making donations of a range of gifts and utilizing the certificates for presentation to guest speakers and on other occasions. 

To get started we can go directly to the Heifer International gift page:

Payment by electronic transfer or credit card will enable Heifer International to identify your Rotary club/district to record the "Virtual Herd" as per instructions on page 6. Donors can make birthday, Christmas, club gifts known by selecting a gift card and personalising it using the Heifer International Gift Card system. 

Pages 8 and 9 outlines how ROTARY IN PARTNERSHIP  WITH FOOD PLANTS INTERNATIONAL CAN EDUCATE AND FEED THE NEEDY.
