To celebrate this international work the Canadian government has designated February 5th to 11th as International Development Week.

S.H.A.R.E. is saddened by the recent death of David Armstrong, a founding director and one of our most loyal supporters. He planted the seed and inspired farm leaders in the Region of Peel to form SHARE in 1976. He was very active on the Board and held various positions including Chairman until 1993. He continued to attend Board meetings until his death. David’s insight and wealth of knowledge will be greatly missed.
David was a Life member of Mayfield United Church and was involved with many other community organizations.
David farmed for many years in the Caledon area and was a very well respected dairy farmer.

After several men and women thanked SHARE for providing a literacy circle in their community in El Salvador, one woman spoke up. “I can read signs and directions when I go to town now. I no longer have the shame of putting an X on documents when I go to offices. I want to thank SHARE for the opportunity to learn to read even at my age. But I have a request. Would you be able to get me some reading glasses?” Maria asked. “It is hard to see the words on the pages because I need glasses.”

SHARE dairy projects show lasting results in small Belizean communities. Farmers in Arenal village (a small village on the Belize-Guatemala border) were helped by SHARE sponsorship to build fencing and dig ponds to contain their cows that were generously provided by SHARE. The projects in the village began 10 years ago and during the recent monitoring tour we had an opportunity to see them trotting past the school. While visiting the new school in the village, built by the Canadian Government via the Canadian High Commission in Belize, on land donated by the Belizean Government, we were pleased to see a healthy herd of Brahma-Holstein cross cattle being herded through town to their other pasture field. The SHARE cattle have improved the livelihood and prosperity of the group of farmers involved and the offspring appear to still be going strong.
