Earth Day Number 1 (of 4) Wellness… Gleaning feeds the needy | Highlands Today
Gleaning feeds the needy | Highlands Today: “Gleaning feeds the needy”
Earth Day… Basic four things to do. Right now.
Number 1. Health and wellness. People can’t be healthy, and they certainly can’t be productive, if they don’t have the basics of health and living conditions. Just drinkable water and basic sanitation is a critical issue. This combined with the lack of basic nutrition results in major health and wellness issues for approximately 2 billion of the world’s population.
ToDo: One of the things that can be done here is to go on missions to developing countries to help them learn and develop the sanitary and development skills. You will want to develop your own survival skills first in a programs such as the HEART program at Warner University.
ToDo: Consider helping with composting, urban gardens and gleaning projects. Gleaning, as mentioned in the bible, is where volunteers are allowed to go through the fields after they have been harvested to pick the edible — but not necessarily pretty — fruit and vegetables.
