This article is a perfect example of what I was talking about in class and what the teacher asked me to blog about. This article is an example of how the proverb "When you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, when you teach him to fish you feed him for a lifetime," can be applied perfectly when discussing how to help underdeveloped societies. When speaking about sustainable development one is implying helping a society survive on it owns while being environmentally responsible.
The article is about The Ugandan church and how they created a project in various underdeveloped parts of Africa. The key philosophy of the project is simple: give a cow to a family that proves it can care for it. Also the cow they give the family, once the demonstrate they can provide for the cow, is pregnant which means that the family can benefit formt he offspring of the cow as well. James Mutayitwako says "Some of the most satisfying results can be seen in the families' health because of the improved nutrition."
Read the article and tell me what you think. I would love to get some feedback.
