Glimpses

Most people have misconceptions about poverty, and why people are in poverty. Often Americans feel that if you just worked harder, or smarter that you could overcome your situation, sometimes insinuating that people are in poverty out of laziness. One part of SIFAT’s mission is to educate Americans on the realities surrounding these people and their situations. Poverty is more than just having a lack of money, it is all encompassing. Manifesting itself as a physical, mental and spiritual deficit. SIFAT is a non-profit mission organization focused on community development training and service in developing nations. This podcast will give you a Glimpse into what we do as an organization, as well as a look into some of these people’s lives and how you may be of help. Our host, Josiah Corson, is passionate about storytelling and will facilitate every episode as a space for learning, and growth. Join us as we take Glimpses into the lives of those around us.

This episode is recorded in Sarah Corson's house over lunch after a group of youth from Perdido Bay Methodist Church helped serve in her garden for the morning. She shares one of the first experiences that really set them on the course to starting SIFAT, the story of the 13 children.
We've purposely tried to leave this footage in its entirety to help you feel like you're at home with her instead of in the studio. So we hope that you enjoy this lunch with Sarah Corson.
