Lecture: “Heifer Project International”
by Nicole M. DiDomenico, an active volunteer with Heifer Project International
since the fall of 2000 and Norwich University director of volunteer programs
and service learning. Heifer International provides animals, and training
in their care, to families around the world as a way for the families
to feed themselves and become self-reliant. Farmers learn sustainable,
environmentally sound agricultural techniques. Following the talk, the
Middlebury College Volunteer Services Organization will present a donation
to DiDomenico that Heifer Project International will use towards the purchase
of a cow. Students raised the funds through a Valentine candy gram project
and a date auction.

Free. Refreshments will be served.
Room 216, Bicentennial Hall, Bicentennial Way off College Street (Route
125)
