AREWA AID IS NOW HOPE SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL
Posted by leeh on June 24, 2009
A few months ago I met with Dr. Randy Steger, President of Healing Hands Int., to get his advice about growing Arewa Aid. His first suggestion was a name change. This suggestion had been discussed recently by our board and this was the nudge we needed to follow through. Arewa is a hard name to pronounce and if you can’t pronounce a name, you can’t remember it. Being remembered is vital to a growing organization.
Following that meeting with Dr. Steger a board resolution to change the name was passed and the process begun to seek a suitable name that broadly pictures what we are about. Under the capable direction of Brent Baldwin, former board member and a professional at this very process, we went through a six-week process of compiling and eliminating potential names. The process ended with Hope Springs International as the new name for Arewa Aid. So, effective immediately, our official name is HOPE SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL.
Our mission will continue to be helping people help themselves. We will continue to undertake projects that teach people how to fish, not just give them a fish. Our goal remains to establish works that will function and live on beyond ourselves, works that will not need continuous financial support, thus allowing your gifts today to meet the needs of tomorrow as well.
We now have a NEW BLOG SITE that reflects our name change. Click on this link: HOPE SPRINGS BLOG to be taken to the new site. When you arrive be sure to bookmark this new location for news and events relating to all the projects we are involved in. This will be the last post at this Blog Site.
You may also follow us on Twitter. We have a Facebook site for those of you on Facebook. We also have a new website under construction. When that is complete we will post the link on the new Hope Springs Blog.
