Our approach to achieving our goal – the eradication of world hunger – includes the packaging of a highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified rice & vegetable casserole by volunteers and then arranging for the distribution of those meals to starving children and their families. We have relationships with NGOs (non-governmental organizations) such as churches, schools, and nonprofit organizations, operating in developing countries on the ground to receive and distribute the meals prepared by our volunteers. When one of our international partners appeals to us, we put them in line for a shipment. We can only ship to places where we know the food will be properly and freely distributed through an organization that can handle such an effort. Accountability is key - we need to have a good relationship with people we trust to do the right thing, because we can't always be there in the countries we're shipping to when the food is being distributed. We seek out organizations that have proven track records of successfully getting the food to those in need and keeping it out of the hands of corrupt government officials and criminals. We ask our feeding partners to document how they distributed the food and to provide us with pictures of the children, youth and adults who receive it. We strive to minimize our administration costs so the maximum amount of your donations are going straight into the feeding program. https://lnkd.in/gVD7QNMx

Overall, the Turkic proverb (Bi:rin bi:rin miñ bolu:r, tama tama köl bolu:r / Unit by unit a thousand is formed, drop by drop a lake is formed.) was intended to educate family members, audiences and entire peoples to strive both for unity and to be patient until the necessary results are achieved. https://lnkd.in/eVAUWmQT Bi:rin bi:rin miñ bolu:r, tama tama köl bolu:r. Unit by unit a thousand is formed, drop by drop a lake is formed.

Ep. 234 THE POWER OF COMMUNITY In addition to being part of speaking communities, we, as presenters belong to professional, social, charitable, faith-based, and other communities. Today Mark and Darren discuss the power of community, examining the ways that communities make us grow…and change. They offer advice on collaborating with your community, growing your community, and even leaving your community. Using Stage Time University, Toastmasters International, and the National Speakers Association as examples, they show benefits and blessings of being in community with like-minded people and reveal how community has helped them to prepare unforgettable presentations.   SNIPPETS: • Community helps change perspective • Choose your community • Use your community • Serve your community • Build your community • Don’t be abused by your community, if you must leave, do so with grace                                             • Protect your community • Don’t think NETWORKING; think NETSERVING • Is your community helping or harming you • Take inventory of your communities

Multi-year funding is key for small charities, it allows for strategising and stability to do the long term thinking #multiyearfunding

Multi year funding is so important for the sustainability of the sector, it provides security and enables charities to focus on what they do best. Making the same organisations submit so many applications for small amounts of short term funding is not going to achieve the impact or systemic social change required. I also would like to see funders push beyond 3 yr funding cycles and consider 5 or more as a norm.
