Chef Michael Kalinowski Feeds the Hungry
First time donor, Michael Kalinowski, has taken on the Kosovo Project. As a chef, he's a person who understands hunger and the pleasure of satisfying it.
The northern Kosovar village of Shtutice suffered terribly during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Some 49 houses, the school and ambulances were destroyed. Livestock was slaughtered, and tractors, combines and other agricultural equipment were stolen or burned. Seventy-six men died and 25 disappeared. Ninety children lost one of their parents; five children lost both parents, and 26 women were widowed. Surviving women still bear the physical and mental scars of beatings and torture by Serbian soldiers. In collaboration with the Women for Women organization, this project will help strengthen the community as families increase income and improve their nutrition and economic conditions. Increased income will help children receive a better education and improve family health. Heifer will provide families with sheep for wool production, milk and meat. Families will create wool handicrafts for sale to Women for Women. Milk and meat can be consumed by the families, and surplus milk can be sold at market.
Thank you Michael and Rebecca for fighting hunger.

Art and Science Work in Harmony to Sponsor Heifer Happening
Anthony Foster and Linda Nemec-Foster teamed up in 1974 when they married. Anthony is a surgeon and Linda is a poet. Together they are taking on the challenge of sponsoring project tables for Heifer Happening '08. Dr. Foster will be sponsoring our Chicago project--an exciting look at how Heifer's animal solutions can be adapted to the urban environment. Linda will be sponsoring our Haiti project--a spotlight project this year.
Heifer is an organization with broad appeal to people of all kinds of gifts. We're glad this artist and scientist have partnered with us for another successful event.
