By Ayya Dhammadīpā • These days there is a lot of emphasis on “finding your tribe.” Perhaps in response to the pervasive feelings of loneliness and isolation that are engendered by cultures of fierce economic competition and were reinforced by the pandemic, folks are now talking a lot about ways to identify and connect with other people like them.

BGR projects with our partner Ecology Action teach agricultural methods to increase crop yields and reduce malnutrition in Malawi, a country where 81 percent of residents experience moderate to severe food insecurity daily, and 19 percent of all children, women, and men are classified as undernourished.

A charitable foundation administered by a longtime donor and supporter of BGR has responded to the humanitarian cries that have erupted in Sri Lanka and Myanmar with a generous donation that will be used to assist people facing food shortages in these two regions.

BGR Deputy Director Patricia A. Price: Through estate plan giving, our humanitarian work will extend well beyond our lifetimes.
