Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International(国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end world hunger.It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was “not a cup, but a cow”.Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.On Heifer International's website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals. these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources(资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal's first female baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learnt as another。
