Agriculture Program ATEG helped establish an agricultural program for over 50 IDP women of KOLA. We drilled a borehole and installed a solar powered pump to irrigate the crops. We arranged for the local agriculture service to provide training on best agriculture practices. The women now have a bountiful garden which provides both food and income for their families.

Heeling Our World
This project addresses the plight of the 300 million children around the world who are going barefoot, leaving them at great risk of disease and death. In Africa we teach mothers and caregivers in rural villages how to make shoes for their children. In the U.S. we raise awareness and give volunteers a pathway to advocacy by making these same shoes. |
Stomp Out Genocide
"Stomp Out Genocide 2013" is a video collaborative engaging children from around the world. The video became their vehicle for self-expression to speak out against the genocides happening today throughout the world. They danced in a display of solidarity against genocide and of the intentional targeting of children. We filmed in U.S. schools as well as in Ethiopia, Zambia, Ghana and Rwanda. |
Towards Greater Awareness
In response to the genocide throughout much of the world, Mitch Lewis created a sculptural exhibition titled “Toward Greater Awareness.” These works invite contemplative exploration of this troubling issue. It has traveled around the country, being exhibited in University Art Museums and Holocaust & Human Rights Centers. |
