Future Plans for Food For Everyone
Foundation Humanitarian Training Projects
People in many countries are requesting the Foundation’s assistance in teaching families and helping them self-sustaining in their food production. Our students in Armenia and Madagascar plead for us to return and help them expand the work. Local NGO’s (non-governmental organizations) in those countries report multiplied thousands of people are begging to be trained in the Mittleider Method of family gardening. It just takes a little money, and a few people who care enough to leave their “comfort zone” and help make other peoples’ lives better. Are you one of them? We’re being asked to work with orphanages in India. Good people are housing, feeding, and educating children of the untouchable caste in that country, and opening new doors of opportunity for them. Creating a teaching/demonstration garden in these orphanages not only provides a ready supply of healthy food, but it gives the young people a place to work – and maybe earn a little money of their own. It teaches them how to grow 5 to 10 times as much healthy food as their neighbors are doing, thus setting them up for self-sufficiency and prosperity. Are you willing to change the world for some beautiful, intelligent children, who’s only mistake was in being born into grossly impoverished circumstances where local customs give them no chance for improvement? Groups in several African nations continue to ask for our help. And the people of the Pacific island nations of Fiji and Samoa have SO little opportunity for improving their lives. Productive gardening in those lush growing conditions would change lives quickly. Jacob and Mildred Mittleider committed themselves for 1 to 3 years at a time. Are you willing to commit a few dollars – or a few months? Even in America there are large groups of people who desperately need our help in getting out of the poverty that has been their lot for generations! A large project that is designed to help thousands of African-American families in the southeastern United States is seeking funding for a start by June 1, 2007. With ambitious plans for training 25 farmers the first 6 months, and then supervising them as they each train 25 others the next 6 months, and so on, if it’s done right within 5 years this project can actually impact MILLIONS of families. Our opportunities for helping people improve their lives are only limited by our financial resources, and by the number of trained and committed people like you who are willing to make a difference for good in the world around you. Join us in “paying forward” the many blessings you’ve received, by using your financial resources and/or your time and efforts, to help other people less fortunate, but no less deserving!
