Feed
A Village Foundation is a charitable nonprofit foundation, located
among the corn fields of Iowa, in the rural town of Fairfield (pop.
10,000). Our headquarters is four blocks
from the town square, which is still an important hub for commerce and cultural
life. We think it appropriate to be championing
the cause of small villages in developing countries, from the equivalent
environment in a developed country, where we are constantly reminded of both the advantages and
challenges of village life.
Claudia and Simon have been involved
in nonprofit organizations for over two decades, and were invited
to lead Feed A Village by a generous individual whose dream
is creating self-reliant rural communities, where individuals can grow
and flourish to their full potential, and become
benefactors to other villages. Borrowing from concepts found in quantum
physics, if a small percentage of the villages in a region were to
become internally coherent, the influence of orderliness would spontaneously
spread to neighboring villages, and individuals would then start
making better decisions.
Simon completed an MBA degree at a private university in the United
States, and has had a significant career teaching in
colleges and other educational institutions. Nonprofit work
has taken him far and wide, including projects in Argentina,
Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, India, Puerto Rico, Venezuela,
and the United States.
Claudia holds an M.S. in Pharmaceutical Science and a B.A. in
Biochemistry, and has served as a clinical analyst in both public
and private hospitals. For several years she owned and operated
a rural pharmacy in the agricultural district of Rio Negro in the
Argentinean Patagonia. She has been involved in nonprofit projects in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and the United States.
All the volunteers at Feed A Village
extend a warm invitation to the well-wishers of humanity, to join in the noble task
of leveling the economic playing-field. As long
as there is misery in the world - no matter how far away - no sensitive
human being is capable of enjoying complete happiness.
Thank you for visiting!
