| The African ministries aim is to link communities in the United States and Africa to labor together. The initiative is a partnership between Giving Heart Ministries, Inc. and a team of Eastern University faculty and students. This partnership was born out of the mutual desires of "laboring together" with developing nations toward sustainable development strategies and living the Gospel of Christ in the world. One of our objectives is to raise funds for improving the livelihoods of people in selected communities in developing African nations. Many of these communities are agrarian; they depend on their land, forests, and bodies of water to produce enough food and to earn income. One of our fund raising efforts includes recycling used printer cartridges. In doing so we not only are able to raise funds to improve the livelihoods of people in African nations but also we make a positive impact on our local environments. Another objective is to help students construct a global perspective that includes knowledge, commitments, and compassionate actions needed to live wisely in a world with limited resources. This global perspective involves viewing the world with understanding, concern, and a desire to work towards helping others who are underprivileged. We are currently working with five schools and two churches. We hope to double this number in the coming year. If you are interested in information on how to become one of these schools, churches, organizations or individuals email us today. We would happily get you information on how you and/or your organization can help in this initiative. |
