The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others – M.K. Gandhi


 

Without an expectation of receiving something in return, people find it difficult to donate, may be in cash or in kind. But serving needy gives immense internal eternal peace and pleasure. It is rightly said “God loves them who love his fellow people”. “Pass on the Gift” is one of the foremost values of 12 Corner Stones of Heifer International India.  


A positive behavioural and attitudinal changes marked among the women SHG members after training on 12 corner stone values and participatory self review and planning (PSRP) under Odisha Socio Economic Development (OSED) project supported by Heifer International India. Inspired by the training, the SHG member having more goats donated one female goat kid to another needy member of the self help group as a pass on gift. The member received the goat promising to take proper and adequate care of the goat which was gifted to her. She will increase the herd size and give offspring (progeny) as a gift to another needy and vulnerable family for livelihood. The pass on gift creates a social cohesion and solidarity among the SHG members of the community.
