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.
