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)
