Does this picture make you think of ‘sweat shops’ around the world where people work long hours for little pay?  You may be surprised to find that this is part of The SEED Livelihood Network that uses global partnerships to create local livelihoods for people who may not have other opportunities in their local settings. SEED, a partner of FMWM, believes both in the dignity of the individual and in life in community.  Each person has been placed in a community within which God desires they learn, grow, and collaborate.  SEED intentionally works with groups of people desiring to create this life together. SEED never drives groups to do something. Instead, we support their exploration of a way to make the skills they already possess sufficient to provide for individuals, families, and communities. Now, here is the rest of the story about the picture:

Change – do you see it as positive or negative in your life?  I love to visit the FMWM website where I can always find great articles with all kinds of information. Well, talk about change! I was like the proverbially ‘kid in a candy store’. The site has been updated and has a new, fresh look. I encourage you to go online and take a look at it. One word of caution: be sure you have plenty of time to explore it.
