The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Easton (UUFE) is offering 4 free documentaries, open to the public. The theme of these films is Making a Difference. “We wanted to feature people and organizations that have made a difference, not only for themselves, but for the greater good. The films contain stories of courage, hope and generosity and they illustrate how a small number of individuals can affect positive change on a national or global scale.”
Each film will be formally presented with a time for Q&A/discussion afterward. Refreshments will be served. All films will be shown at UUFE, 7401 Ocean Gateway (Rt. 50), Easton, Md. For more information, contact Mary Lou Malone: mlmalone0525@gmail.com, 410.725.0716

Global health care, Partners in Health

Originally inspired by the belief that all people deserve adequate health care, these three young people founded Partners in Health and, through programs in Peru and Rwanda as well as Haiti, proved to people of first world countries that these projects could succeed, eventually inspiring a multi-billion dollar grant from the World Bank for third world programs.
