問題詳情

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題Heifer International, based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty andhunger through sustainable, values-based holistic community development. Heifer distributes livestock such as goats,bees, and water buffalo, along with agricultural and values-based training, to families in need around the world as ameans of providing self-sufficiency. Recipients must agree to “pass on the gift” by sharing animal offspring, as well asthe skills and knowledge of animal husbandry and agricultural training with other impoverished families.Heifer International began as Heifers for Relief in 1944. Its founder, an Ohio farmer named Dan West, was aChurch of the Brethren relief worker during the Spanish Civil War. His mission was to provide relief, but he soondiscovered the meager single cup of milk rationed to the weary refugees once a day was not enough. In 1938, whileWest was ladling out milk to hungry refugee children, he suddenly had a thought: What if they had not a cup, but acow? That teach-a-man-to-fish philosophy is what drove West to found Heifer International.Heifer International empowers families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity, but its approach ismore than just giving them a handout. Heifer links communities and helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerceto areas with a long history of poverty. Heifer animals provide partners with both food and reliable income, asagricultural products such as milk, eggs, and honey can be traded or sold at market. When many families gain this newsustainable income, it brings new opportunities for building schools, creating agricultural cooperatives, formingcommunity savings, and funding small businesses.Passing on the gift, the core of Heifer’s model enables families to share the training they receive and pass on thefirst female offspring of their livestock to another family. This extends the impact of the original gift, allowing a onceimpoverished family to become donors and full participants in improving their communities.
