Episode 5 - How just a handful of seeds can lift a family out of poverty, fund an education, and provide jobs...
Welcome to episode #5 of the podcast! On this episode, we speak with Beau Schmaltz. Beau and I met during a trip to Honduras with a nonprofit called Humanity and Hope United. It was during one morning at a baleadas cafe that I learned that he was a chemical engineer with a passion for service. Through his current work at a company called POET, a leader in the sustainable energy industry, he became involved with a nonprofit called Seeds of Change.
Seeds of Change focuses on alleviating poverty in low resource settings through power of education and agriculture. They do this by focusing on three pillars: Mission Hope, Mission Grow, and Mission Breathe.
During this episode, we speak about how Seeds of Change was founded. We also speak on why honest leadership is so important in the areas non-profits partner with to create a sustainable change. We also speak about how most times it's important to build lasting relationships with the families you serve before working on tangible solutions.
