Jan West Schrock is the daughter of Heifer International founder Dan West Schrock. She recently spoke to a crowd of Heifer supporters about her father, his commitment to peace and justice, and the start of this organization.

Jan has worked for Heifer International for the past 10 years in the Education department, and is currently serving as Senior Advisor to Heifer. She is also the author of Give a Goat, a true story of a fifth grade class that got excited about raising money for a goat through Heifer International so other children could go to school. Jan believes that it is so important for young children to get Heifer's message of living together in peace and sharing the resources of a healthy planet. Education is a big piece of Heifer's work.

This speech was given at the annual meeting of Heifer's SW region on February 28th, 2009 at the La Verne Church of the Brethren.
