Heifer international’s function is to reduce poverty by providing

Heifer International is an international NGO based in the USA that aims to foster economic development by donating cattle and poultry animals to farmers in developing countries as well as agricultural training.

They also foster a value system in which the farmers engage to adhere to their values by “passing on the gift” to other farmers in need by sharing their training and their animal progeny with them. The idea is to facilitate a cascade effect in which poor communities are able to achieve and sustain alimentary self-sufficiency.  

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
