West
Virginia 4-H, in partnership with Heifer International announces...

The West Virginia 4-H Global Challenge will provide many educational
opportunities for 4-H Members, such as global awareness, critical thinking, consensus building, budgeting, marketing
and generosity at the global level.
Through gifts of livestock and training in agriculture and environmental
techniques, the West Virginia 4-H Challenge will support Heifer International as we work together to help people leave the
desperation of poverty behind and build new lives for themselves and new futures for their families. Our goal
is to involve all 55 counties and every 4-H Club in West Virginia to become aware of this opportunity to help others. Please include the
West Virginia 4-H Challenge in your 2008 Club Budget.

Your 4-H Club Decides… From
Seedling or Sheep, Duck or Llamas, Rabbits or Honeybees, Water Buffalo or Chicks, or the Gift of an Ark that goes around the
world —South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Wherever
we find hunger, poverty and hopelessness West Virginia 4-H can help answer with Heifer animals and training...Let’s
show the world how much West Virginia 4-H Cares.
