Our Work

Learn how giving a Heifer gift can lift an entire community out of poverty.

To End Hunger & Poverty Heifer's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth.By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope.With gifts of livestock and training, we help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as "living loans" because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.Read some of the inspiring Success Stories from our partners around the globe that have had their lives changed as a result of Heifer's work.Help provide livestock, seeds, or training to a family struggling with hunger and poverty.

Bringing an End to World Hunger Through Unimaginable BlessingsToday, millions of people who were once hungry will be nourished by milk, eggs and fresh vegetables.

Families who for generations knew only poverty will be building new homes and starting businesses.Children who once headed out to the fields to do backbreaking work will be heading into

ARLINGTON NORTH’S MEALS ON WHEELS ROUTE

Our service area for Arlington is east Arlington, although it’s called South Arlington at Meals on Wheels. We meet Thursdays at 10:00 – 10:15 a.m. at St Marks Episcopal Church, 2024 South Collins Street (just north of Pioneer). Bring a couple of insulated containers (insulated bags are good). Also bring a map, since the route might of changed a little since the last time you were there. Our route is mostly east of the church, with the majority at an apartment complex at New York and Arkansas. From the time you arrive at the church, it should take no more than an hour to complete the route!

It has been a joy this year to see and hear about the amazing humanitarian and educational programs you are doing that strengthen and benefit our communitiesand promote high ethical standards in vocational and private lives. This spirit of Rotary service has also expanded beyond local communities and Rotariansare seeing the world as their community.

The Rotary theme for February is “World Understanding.” Members and clubs of our district are very active in living up to this ideal with a wide variety of activities and experiences.

Involvement of Rotary teams in 2010-11 include: National Immunization Days in India andNigeria, Ambassadorial scholars to Chile and Mexico, youth exchanges on multiple continents,disaster relief, humanitarian grants, friendship exchanges, Rotary Fellowships and muchmore.

Recently I traveled with a Wichita Falls team to Haiti where we witnessed firsthand the earthquake devastation. While we were there we met with local Rotarians to discuss the potential for improving living conditions in many practical ways. Soon teams led by the Denton and Metroport clubs will be on the way to Nicaragua to continue their ongoing passion forrelieving suffering and improving living conditions in that area. A team lead by Arlington will be making another visit to Honduras this spring to help improve water and sanitation for the people of Mosquitia where our efforts have been saving thousands of young children. In March and April our district will exchange Group Study Teams with New Zealand and you will be able to get to know them through club visits and at our District Conference.

District Governer Paul Monthly Update

Whether through the programs of the Rotary Foundation or individual World CommunityService initiatives, Rotarians are continually finding ways to reach out and make a difference. This year has seen tremendous growth in number and size of INTERACT clubs in our district and much of it seems to be tied to the “International Baccalaureate Curriculum” in high schools. They have recognized that our Rotary goal of “World Understanding” is consistent with their mission of “promoting intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century.”

District and International events throughout the year are designed to help increase “World Understanding.” So, we hope that our district Rotarians will plan to take advantage of the these opportunities, which include the District Conference (May 6 & 7) celebrating the annual accomplishments of our clubs and the Rotary International Convention in New Orleans on May 21, which will also add a unique opportunity for an amazing international perspective.Thank you for all you are doing in Rotary Service,

—Paul
