EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN THE SEMINAR
Friday, September 9, 2011
Room 1113 Van Munching Hall, 12:15 - 1:30pm
Heifer International
This week Nicole Horvath will lead a presentation on Heifer International's work around the world. She will discuss the organization's beginnings and how its values-based development model has lifted more than 70 million people out of hunger and poverty. At the end of the presentation she will show a short documentary about Heifer's work with women's groups in Nepal.
Nicole worked as an educator for Heifer International at their World Headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas before starting the CONS program at UMD in 2011. While working for Heifer she developed educational programs and tours that allowed her to share Heifer's work with thousands of visitors and children who visited the headquarters.
We look forward to seeing you at our discussion.
Best,
Your EESG Team
