Cornerstone - Caring for People

M.E.A.T. Ministries blesses yet another non-profit in the far corners of Belize, Central America. 

“Yes we can” make a difference; and M.E.A.T. was honored to do so by contributing to another worthy cause. 

We are proud to announce that M.E.A.T. has adopted the Cornerstone Foundation in Belize, Central America as our 2009 foreign mission project.  

Cornerstone is a local organization founded in the town of San Ignacio, district of Cayo, Belize, Central America. It helps children in difficult home environments to learn life skills and sustainability advocating for children’s rights. They support women in violent situations to seek solutions and to empower them with skills that enable them to be able to achieve a degree of financial independence.

Cornerstone helps families afraid of the unknown learn how to care for a loved one living with and often dying from HIV/AIDS.  Since their programs and activities rely heavily on donated supplies, equipment, and human resources, M.E.A.T.  responded to the need. 

Special gratitude is extended to Carmita, Rita, Vanessa, Nellie, and Elliot at Cornerstone for their enthusiasm and receptiveness to M.E.A.T.’s contribution.  Glory and honor to God for blessing M.E.A.T. to be a blessing to others! 

M.E.A.T. Ministries join forces with Hands Across The Water to reach out to less affluent people who are without enough books to sustain educational and intellectual growth.

Donations in the form of workbooks, craft books, dictionaries, atlas, educational study guides, grade level learning materials, art paper and other school supplies were sent by M.E.A.T. to Hands Across the Water (“HATW”) to aide in their literacy program. 

Rev. Lenora Phelps, Founder of M.E.A.T. and Jane Miller Webber, Director of HATW sphere-headed the cause of seeing that M.E.A.T.’s book donations were put to good use.  M.E.A.T. proudly supports HATW’s effort to provide tools of literacy and education to needy schools and libraries in Nigeria, Ghana, India, the Philippines and other impoverished countries.

HATW distributes usable books to needy schools, libraries and other community-based nonprofit organizations. They meet a pressing concern in poor societies all over the world by distributing "rescued" surplus books to promote literacy and education where it is needed most. In many developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, English is the language of choice for education and literacy, so our donated books are a good fit.

The books were enthusiastically received by HATW who has a continued need for books of all kinds, both library and school (text) books on all subjects. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please email us at meatministries@wt.net to arrange for pickup.  Future shipments will go to Kenya, Tanzania and needy areas within the USA.
