How Heifer Feeds the World

Heifer International Headquarters is located in Little Rock, Arkansas. If you don't know Heifer, but you are of a charitable heart, learn all you can. Heifer does fund raising like any Charity, but they do things quite different.

Have you ever heard that saying, "Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime." Heifer International operates along this same philosophy. When Heifer solicits funds, it is in Livestock and Fowl. If you are concerned about third-world countries, and other parts of the world where entire villages are starving for lack of food, Heifer makes it possible to donate chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, Heifers, and even the Noah's Ark Menagerie.

Many animals are 'grown' in Perryville, Arkansas, about 45 minutes from Little Rock. These gifts keep on giving.

Contact Heifer and request their Catalouge, or save postage and paper and view it on-line. The Link is below. When you come to Little Rock, make sure you come to the Headquarters, and possibly the Ranch. You will realize that Goodness does exsist in the world, and it is easy to be a part of it.

Zero Water - Zero Toxins facility

The Heifer Parking Lot design is most amazing. Everyone knows cars drip. They leak and whine and make nasty little messes everyplace they go. Heifer, when they revitalized this Superfund property formed a committee, and did lots of homework and planning to clean up this area.

Heifer International Headquarters is called a ZeroWater facility. They recycle ALL their water. Around the property are wetland marshes created to use and reuse all of the waste and water. Oil and other toxins from autos cannot escape this encapsulated system. Whether or not you take the "tour" you can go see the Headquarters grounds, and certainly check out the innovative parking lot design!

Big Whiskey's Bar and Grill - Little Rock, AR

I am recommending Big Whiskey's as a place to go! I visited at lunch time on a week day, so if you are visiting on the weekend, it will be more crowded. The exterior of Whiskey's is upscale, and I worried the prices would be high. They were very reasonable.

For two of us, I ordered one Whiskey on Tap, 3 Bud Lites on tap. The SpinQueso dip and chips, an order of 6 medium wings, and the Avacado Chicken Breast Sandwich. 

The food was delicious and helpings were good. The service was excellent. and the final total was under $40.00, and we took home a good portion of food.

The more I read your work on Little Rock Arkansas the more I want to come pay a visit. My daughters have never been to Arkansas, although it was my Dad's hometown, he died young and my daughters never met him. It may be a good time to go back after all these years. I haven't been since I was my youngest daughters age. Oh the years... Peace :)
