Dwight and Edith Koops talk about the Millenium
First, Dwight and Edith Coops are subscribers to Kingwood Rotary's "Flags Across Kingwood" flag lease program, so we thank them for their support of this important fundraiser for our club!
We were so honored to have them both be our guest speakers and explain the great work being done by Millennium Relief and Development Services which has served the poor in complex situations since 1998 in over 33 countries. This organization is saving and changing lives!
Born out of the heart of its founders, Bill Koops and James Clark, Millennium is looking forward to continued service to the poor, suffering and disenfranchised through a network of teams dedicated to the people they serve.
In delivering intelligent compassion to those in complex situations, Millennium takes a simple, effective approach to meaningful relief and development. Their agile approach strives to avoid cumbersome bureaucracy, centralized control and costly administration.
Millennium’s Houston and Canadian headquarters support programs conceived and implemented by field workers who live and work among the people they serve.
Millennium field workers and staff represent a diversity of backgrounds including medicine, science, education, engineering, technology, and business. Millennium's approach is through long-term, human-scale programs and services created by workers who are committed to the people they serve, speaking the local languages and living among the people.
By listening to and understanding the needs of the people, workers develop projects that can help solve human problems at the local level. Their goal is to bring hope to people caught in desperate situations in difficult, often hostile parts of the world.
We welcome Edith and Dwight, and thank them for sharing information about this great organization...and also for being subscribers to our "Flags Across Kingwood" fundraiser! Please visit https://www.mrds.org to learn more about Millennium Relief and Development Services.
