Want to make a difference in the world? Please consider participating in the 2006 CROP WALK on October 8.
The CROP WALK helps to support the overall ministry of the Church World
Service, especially the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of
partner agencies in more than 80 countries. CROP WALKS help to provide tools of
hope that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells
and water systems, to nutrition-enhancing Moringa trees, to technical training
and micro enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their
own development priorities, their strengths, and their needs--something Church
World Service has learned through some 58 years of working in partnership around
the world.
