Promises

Promises Kept: Student Council, the SGS students, and Sister Theresa.

Student Council suggested that for a dress down day the boys and girls contribute money to the Heifer Project and if the students collected sufficient funds Sister Theresa promised to dress up as a farm animal. 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, they help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. They 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 the Heifer foundations's mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.

The boys and girls kept their end of the bargain. . . and Sister Theresa did, too.
