Faith the Cow, by Susan Bame Hoover, is the true story of Dan West and how he and a group of farmers worked together to create peace in the world.  As the old saying goes, "Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."  Heifer Project International started out teaching people "how to fish" by donating a young pregnant cow -- a heifer -- to someone in need.  When the cow gave birth, the cow provided milk to the family in need; the family receiving the cow then became a donor to a neighbor, donating the new calf and teaching the neighbor how to feed and care for the calf.  In this way the "recipient" also becomes the "donor."

Heifer International has grown from these humble beginnings and now has numerous projects going on worldwide.

Winner of the Silver Angel Award, 1995 and nominated for the Ben Franklin Award, 1995.
