John,

The birth of one special calf named Gamsa is transforming an entire community in Nepal. In fact, Gamsa — whose name means "Thank you" — is the first of an expected 73 calves to be born.

What makes these calves so special? Thanks to a long-standing partnership between Nepal and the people of Korea, these Holstein Heifers gifted to 50 Nepalese families represent a prosperous future with the start of their dairy farming collective.

You have the power to start a transformation in communities all around the world through our innovative Passing on the Gift^® program, helping families in need fight back against hunger and poverty.

When you start a monthly gift and join the Friends of Heifer^® giving community, you will start the cycle of giving. And we’ll match your gift for the first 12 months to send DOUBLE the impact around the world.

Your support isn’t just about feeding a hungry family; it’s about nourishing their potential and securing their future for years to come. And with the tradition of Passing on the Gift, your monthly gift will help not just a family but an entire community.

Gamsa is a symbol of South Korea’s remarkable journey. Once a recipient of development support from Heifer International during the 1950s, they are now a donor nation. They are Passing on the Gift to the people of Nepal to fight for a future free from the pain and suffering of poverty — a future you also believe in.

Thank you for caring deeply and for considering this incredible opportunity. We believe in your ability to make a lasting mark on the world, and we can’t wait to see how many lives you change.

Thank you,

Heifer International
