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 !!!

Training & Staff – Indonesia …

Essential to any endeavor are relationships.  Essential to any relationships are time together.  Essential to any time together is proximity.

GHNI recently brought their staff together in Indonesia, for a time of relationship building and training.  Staff from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the USA came together to glean from each other how we can better labor together for our common goals in each country and village settings.  It was a truly good time of building into each other and establishing practices of work that simply could not have happened outside a focused time together.

TIRUPUR, ARCOT BORE WELL project by the GHNI:

People those who lived in Ammapalayam, Tirupur went through much scarcity of water and also lot of physical and mental hardship.  In Tirupur our team had campaign against suicides, through which we reached thousands of people.  This area in India records highest suicide rate.  With the help of GHNI we dig a bore well in one of the village, around 400 people benefited out of this.

Another bore well was drilled in the same way in Arcot, near Vellore.  This bore well benefited around 200 people.  Through these bore wells in these 2 places hundreds of people got enough drinking water.

More than 200 families in this village, but there is water scarcity .  GHNI helped us to make 300 feet bore well with the expense of Rs.90,000/-.  The bore well was dedicated by our National leaders Mrs. Annie, Mrs. Neena.

Another bore well is digging now in Gummudipundi area on the way to Andhra from Chennai. This will complete it works next week. This is the place where Dan visited and heard the story of a poor widow.
