Transformational Community Development (TCD) is many times in need of a “hook”, a way to gather people together in order to have a natural venue for explaining the who/what/when/where/why(s) of TCD. We in GHNI call this a “SEED” project day. It is a method for allowing village people to gather in significant numbers in order to build relationships that will foster a natural conversation on the importance of their lives specific to life-changing principles.

In the case of this event in January in the Jharkhand region of India, sports was used as this venue to build trust, a prerequisite to any truly quality TCD initiative.

It is so exciting to see this many people gathered to have fun. More importantly, it is exciting to see these same people gathered in order to hear how TCD can help them in key areas of their lives of Water-Food-Health-Education-Finances. GHNI continues to be committed to these “seed” days as an entry point to development and life-changing endeavors.

A Grand New Year and Thanks To You !!!

Wells Of Tirupur, India

Tirupur, India is in many ways hostage to its own success.  A major clothing and garment manufacturing center of India, tens of thousands remain without basic needs such as clean water.  These are subjugated to “system” of slavery intrinsic to this industry that pays $4-$7 dollars per week, depending on whether you are a women/man and where one is in the processes of this type of manufacturing.  Most in the West would call it “slave labor”.  GHNI is now(7/’12) in the process of digging its first well in this neediest of locations.  This water is available for not only home domestic needs, but will also be available for irrigation purposes also needed in these families for crops cultivation.  Dan was there at the end of 2011 and personally witnessed these families in dire need of clean water.
