Review for La Gonave Haiti Partners, Atlanta, GA, USA
Although I'm not a volunteer with La Gonave Haiti Partners, I had the opportunity to visit La Ganove and see the fruits of the collaboration between local residents and their U.S. partners. It's inspiring to see this level of mutual trust and respect. As a donor and someone with international development experience, I'm careful about how U.S. nonprofits insert themselves in global communities, exercise their power, and invest their resources. It was an inspiring experience to witness the extraordinary friendships that have emerged from this fruitful, cooperative partnership and more inspiring to observe the outcomes that have changed many people's lives. Many thanks to the Haitian and U.S. leaders of La Ganove Haiti Partners. You're a model!
Review for Urban Recipe, Atlanta, GA, USA
The Georgia Avenue Community Ministry and food co-ops are a sign of hope for our Atlanta region. The co-ops are a way for low-income residents to organize themselves into strategic communities which then provide food and care to one another. Through these co-ops, people discover the gifts and beauty in their neighbors, often in people they had discounted. With their vision and hope, with their hard work, with their care for one another, communities are being transformed while people are being fed. -Rev. Dr. David Jenkins, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
