This document discusses orphan care projects in several countries run by Lifesong for Orphans. In Ukraine, the project aims to help 60 orphans transition to adulthood through job training, mentoring, and relationships. In Zambia, the project would provide schooling, two meals per day, and medical care through a nurse for 250 children. In Liberia, the project would provide school, three meals daily, and an orphanage for 120 children. In Honduras, outcomes for Lifesong students have exceeded national averages in terms of college attendance and employment, and the proposed project is to build a new kitchen and dining area to serve 550 children.

This document discusses the story of Wyatt, an orphan born in Lithuania with multiple birth defects who was adopted from an orphanage in California. It mentions that God sets the lonely into families and quotes passages from the Bible and founders of charitable organizations about making a difference. The document also talks about Ukraine's broken orphanage system and Irving Bible Church in Dallas, Texas.
Adoption Funding - More than dollars & centsAndy Lehman
This document discusses innovative ways to fund adoptions through church adoption funds and other programs. It provides the story of Wyatt, an orphan with many medical issues, to show why adoption funding is important. It then outlines several options for churches to establish adoption funds, including creating their own non-profit, managing funds internally, or partnering with an organization like Lifesong for Orphans. Benefits of partnering include flexibility, quick setup, and minimal administrative burden on the church. Real-life examples show how families have funded international and domestic adoptions through various grants, loans, donations and tax credits.

- Proteins are needed to form muscles, hair, nails, and other molecules, but most diets containing enough calories also contain sufficient protein.
- The document argues that vegetarians and vegans can meet their protein needs through foods like soy, cereals, pulses, nuts and seeds as part of a calorie-sufficient diet.
- Excess protein intake, especially from animal sources, may increase risk of diseases, while plant-based diets use fewer resources and can help address global hunger issues.
Actors testing is different from what you are used to. First, you have messages instead of calls, second, you have to deal with concurrency and all the consequences that it brings with it:
* Thread.sleeps in tests;
* Flakiness;
* Green on laptop / red on jenkins;
* Missed test cases.
Fortunately Akka provides a TestKit which helps to avoid all these things when used properly. Let's take out and inspect tools from this kit and learn couple of useful patterns.

This document provides contact information for several vegetarian and vegan societies located across Australia. It lists their email addresses and websites to find out more information from these organizations that support and promote vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.
Gary Francione argues that animal welfare is misguided and will not lead to the abolition of animal exploitation. He believes animal rights requires recognizing that animals should not be treated as property and advocates for veganism. While some groups campaign for better treatment of farm animals, Francione rejects this as it suggests exploitation can be acceptable if humane. He also disagrees with those who say animals only care about suffering, not life, and believes they have a right to not be used as commodities like humans.
We treat animals how we used to treat human slaves, with no justification except religious superstition according to Gary Francione, a professor of law and philosopher. Francione argues that animals deserve rights similar to how we no longer accept the domination of humans. The article provides commentary and analysis of our treatment of animals from Francione's perspective.
- Pollutants in fish may cancel out the beneficial effects of the ‘good’ omega-3 fats they contain
- ALA (from plant foods) can be converted into EPA and DHA, and has a protective effect against heart disease
- Cutting down on dietary cholesterol (eggs, meat and dairy products), processed foods, and hydrogenated vegetable oils will help your body to make best use of the omega-3 from plant foods
The document discusses the health benefits and risks of consuming soya. It provides a long history of safe soya consumption dating back thousands of years. It examines soya's nutritional value as a protein and mineral source and its ability to lower cholesterol. Studies show that soya protein, through isoflavones and other components, can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of menopausal hot flashes when consumed as part of the diet.
This document discusses iron and its sources. It debunks the myth that vegetarians and vegans are at higher risk of iron deficiency due to lack of meat consumption. There are two types of iron - haem iron found in meat which is more easily absorbed, and non-haem plant-based iron which is also well-absorbed. Many plant foods such as lentils, beans, leafy greens, and fortified cereals are excellent sources of iron. Factors like vitamin C can increase iron absorption from plants, while calcium, phytates, and tannins may decrease its absorption. A balanced vegetarian or vegan diet with attention to iron sources can meet or exceed iron needs.
This document provides an alphabetical glossary of animal-derived substances commonly found in food, cosmetics and other products. Each entry briefly explains what the substance is and which animals it comes from. The glossary aims to help consumers identify non-vegetarian ingredients and make ethical purchasing decisions. It also discusses various farming practices and their animal welfare implications.
The document discusses cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart disease and stroke. CVD is the UK's number one killer. It occurs when fatty deposits build up in the arteries, restricting blood flow and oxygen to the heart and brain. A plant-based diet can help prevent and treat CVD in several ways. It is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than the standard Western diet, and higher in nutrients that support heart health. Factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, obesity, and smoking increase CVD risk, but following a plant-based diet can help regulate these risk factors.
A plant-based diet is the healthiest option for children according to the author. Animal products promote diseases like cancer while vegetarian diets protect health. The document outlines how animal products can cause allergies, intolerances and diseases in children. It recommends encouraging children to adopt a plant-based diet from a young age to promote lifelong good health and reduce disease risk.
This document discusses the health benefits of plant oils compared to fish oils. It summarizes several studies that show plant oils are more effective than fish oils at reducing mortality from heart attacks. While fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, plant oils from seeds, nuts and their oils are richer sources. The document also notes concerns about toxins like mercury accumulating in fish and the failure of public health strategies to increase fish consumption in the UK. In conclusion, a plant-based diet is considered the best choice for long-term heart health and overall wellness.
This document discusses calcium and bone health. It argues that cow's milk is not the best source of calcium and may actually be harmful. While calcium is important for bone health, the document asserts that physical activity and overall diet and lifestyle are more important factors. It provides numerous plant-based sources of calcium that are easily absorbed and beneficial for bone health, such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and beans.
This document discusses vitamin B12 and its role in vegetarian and vegan diets. It notes that while B12 is found naturally in animal foods, vegetarians and vegans can meet their needs through fortified foods. Some key points:
- B12 is produced by bacteria and essential for human health, but many modern diets lack reliable sources. Vegetarians must obtain B12 from fortified foods or supplements.
- Fortified foods like nutritional yeast, cereals, plant milks and meat substitutes provide sufficient B12 to meet recommendations. Proper planning is needed to ensure vegetarians and vegans consume fortified foods regularly.
- Deficiency is more common in the elderly due
