Dire dawa
Dire Dawa, Ethiopia is one of the poorest places in the world, where the average monthly salary is about $15 and life expectancy is half that of the United States. Despite extreme poverty, the people are extremely friendly and help one another. They live in simple mud and stick homes without electricity or running water. Children as young as 3 work in the fields, and their smiles over small gifts like candy or water bottles show how little it takes to make them happy. The document asks for donations of used clothing to help the 300 children in the local villages.
Zorzle1.2
Fred and Audrey Zorzle, who were stick figures unlike the cuddly residents of LingerLonger Town, faced discrimination from locals who wanted them to leave. However, the Zorzles had helped many residents in times of need. At a town meeting to discuss removing the Zorzles, many shared stories of how they helped. The Mayor declared the Zorzles good people and created an annual award in their honor to recognize those who help others like the Zorzles did. The first recipients of the Zorzle Award were Fred and Audrey themselves.

The Kibbutz community in Israel was originally based on agricultural communes where people lived and worked collectively based on socialist ideals of equality. While farming was initially central, industry has now replaced agriculture as the main economic activity. Members lived together sharing facilities like bathrooms and leisure spaces. Women performed many of the same tasks as men like working in the fields and guard duty, though men never did traditional female roles like childcare. Children lived in communal houses and only saw parents a few hours a day.
Dialog Between 2 Kids
This document summarizes an interaction between two boys in a remote village in China that receives aid from Heifer International. A young boy from the visiting group engages an older local boy in conversation about books they both received as gifts. Their discussion is interrupted when a local woman points out that the older boy, A-Qiang, does not have a mother like the other children. It is revealed that A-Qiang's parents left him and he lives with his grandparents. The document argues that poverty and desperation, not lack of love, drive parents to abandon their children. It advocates that Heifer International's approach of teaching skills like animal husbandry is better than temporary donations, as it provides people with livelihoods and
Cambodian Photo Album
The document is an appeal from a traveller to Cambodia asking for donations to support an orphanage called the Happy Family Orphanage. It summarizes the difficult history of Cambodia, where over 20% of the population was killed in the 1970s under the Khmer Rouge regime. Despite hardship, the orphans at the orphanage, which is run on few resources, maintain positive attitudes. The traveller was moved by the resiliency of the children and wants to help by collecting donations of toys, clothes, blankets and money during a return trip in October. Donors' names will be displayed at the orphanage and they may see the impact of their gift through a video camera.
Sccap
This document provides information about various programs run by the South Central Community Action Programs (SCCAP) in Adams County.

The homeless shelter relies solely on donations and provides shelter, meals, and other necessities for families in need, including 18 small children currently living there.
Annual Appeal
Please consider making an end of year gift so we can continue supporting over 30,000 low income residents in Philadelphia. You can make a mark in someone's life that can never be erased.
Feed An Orphan
In a remote village in Africa called 'Ndumo, there are around 2,000 orphans and vulnerable children who have lost parents to diseases like AIDS or malaria or whose parents have migrated for work, leaving many of the children alone without adult care or means to support themselves or younger siblings. A small group of committed school principals is working to help these children by sending food and care, but needs funding to continue their efforts through the organization Feed an Orphan, which aims to channel support to the children and transform their circumstances.

The african literature
Florence Onyebuchi 'Buchi' Emecheta OBE (21 July 1944 – 25 January 2017) was a Nigerian-born novelist who wrote about women's experiences in patriarchal cultures. She authored over 20 books including Second Class Citizen and The Joys of Motherhood. In India, there is a strong cultural preference for sons over daughters, which has led to about 63 million women "missing" from the population due to practices like sex-selective abortion and neglect of girls. This is due to sons being viewed as assets who will care for parents, while daughters are seen as liabilities who must be dowried. Ending such practices requires changing deep-rooted social and cultural mindsets

They now operate across India, matching donors with brides in need so donors can sponsor weddings.

Dialog Between 2 Kids
This document summarizes an interaction between two boys in a remote village in China that receives aid from Heifer International. A young boy from the visiting group engages an older local boy in conversation about books they both received as gifts. Their discussion is interrupted when a local woman points out to the older boy that he is an orphan, as his mother left and his father remarried. The document advocates that Heifer International's approach of providing livestock and skills training is better than temporary donations, as it allows families to support themselves through small businesses and help prevent situations that drive parents to abandon their families.

Nourish is a non-profit organization that is in an exciting phase of development with growing projects and dreams. They have registered as an organization and opened a bank account. They visited an HIV/AIDS orphanage in Mozambique where they distributed flip flops donated by another organization. Nourish also met with local chiefs and orphaned children in South Africa to discuss their needs like school uniforms. Additionally, they met with city parks in Johannesburg to discuss planting trees in Alexandra Township.
Sedentarization in Eastern Sudan
The document discusses the sedentarization of the Beni Amer tribe in eastern Sudan. Conflict and violence caused them to lose their pastoral lands and cattle, forcing them to settle in cities like Kassala to survive. This transition was difficult as it required adjusting to urban life, education systems, and cash-based economies. While cities provided access to services, living costs are high and many struggle financially. Some consider emigrating to Europe in search of better opportunities, but the journey is dangerous as some get trapped by human traffickers. Overall the document examines the factors forcing this tribe's sedentarization and the challenges of adapting to urban life.

Ponheary Ly has dedicated her life to helping poor children in rural Cambodia gain access to education, healthcare, clean water, and daily meals. She started small by helping individual children one by one, but has since grown her efforts through the Ponheary Ly Foundation to support four schools and hundreds of children in the Siem Reap region. Her work provides much needed assistance to children who otherwise struggle with health issues and malnutrition, as Cambodia experienced devastating conditions during the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975-1979 that left millions dead and the country in poverty for decades after.

A solar-powered water pump was installed in a village in Zambia, benefiting the community in several ways. It allows Anolaska to fetch water near her home instead of walking for hours, so her sister Odetta can now get water nearby and the children are less late for school. The caretaker Sebastian says obtaining necessities is difficult, but the new pump will help farming. Villagers hope it prevents suffering from drought.

Big Deal in Cambodia
- 1. Big Deal in Cambodia… Find out what Big Deal reporters Jo and Eileen got up to; travelling by tuk tuk, meeting young people in the capital Phnom Penh, and don’t miss the dancing at the Happy Happy School!
- 2. “ Just arrived! Looking a bit nervous… We were met (and blessed!) with these gorgeous garlands of flowers everywhere we went” (Jo’s on the left and Eileen’s on the right)
- 3. “ There’s no mistaking we’re in South-east Asia in the rainy season… It’s HOT and humid! We’re staying with friends in a hotel in Phnom Penh, but here there are 564 slum areas and 300,000 people live on less than 25p a day”
- 4. “ I’m showing pics of UK CAFOD staff to the people CAFOD works alongside at the Salvation Centre Cambodia. We also chatted with the Buddhist Monks here who are doing an HIV-prevention training programme, offering support for their community and working with young people.”
- 5. “ OK, so not at all embarrassing this one… We’re joining in the Happy Happy programme with orphans and vulnerable children, a chance for them to get some education, and have fun too.”
- 6. “ We met Tho Channa and her children (and their ducks and chickens!) They’ve bought the animals with a loan from the local organisation CAFOD supports. Tho’s now selling the birds and eggs to help feed the family. Her husband and her children’s dad sadly died because of AIDS five months ago. CAFOD-supported carers visited their home and sorted out the children’s school fees too.”
- 7. “ We visited a village called Puya where we chatted to these lovely girls and asked them some questions from young people in London – you can read about it on www.cafod.org.uk/bigdeal”
- 8. “ We saw these great cartoons in Puya village, showing how poor communities are pressured to sell land cheaply to investors, who sometimes force them off their land. Sometimes the military cut down the villagers’ trees without paying. It’s very unfair” !”
- 9. “ We met the village chief at a community meeting in Puya. He’s working to empower people to be able to live more sustainably and get land rights. Then they will be more secure and less likely to be forced off their land by investors. CAFOD supports these initiatives through a local organisation, which also trains communities to patrol forests and report illegal logging! We thought it’s sad and ironic that indigenous villagers have been living sustainably with their land for as long as they can remember, but they now have pressures from outside like this…” This t-shirt reads 'Land is a natural resource in the lives of indigenous people'
- 10. “… more snapshots of our time in this amazing country! Thanks to everyone who made friends with us there!” Eileen and Jo xx
