ASAPROSAR
|
What We Do
ASAPROSAR provides health care to rural families in the mountains of western El Salvador and to marginalized urban people. The work of Dr. Vicky Guzman started in the 1970s, continued during the twelve-year civil war, and today provides health care, community development and education. Programs focus on women and children as they combat the obstacles of poverty, gender discrimination and exploitation.
The work of ASAPROSAR began with Vicky’s arrival on horseback at villages to train rural health promoters and community leaders. Today with a limited budget, a small staff and hundreds of volunteers, ASAPROSAR reaches over 80,000 people with preventive medicine. In addition, the organization cares for working children in the marketplaces and in the city dump area, provides eye care to the poor, and trains people in the preservation of natural resources.
How UCC Norwell Helps
Since 1987 annual work camps from UCC Norwell have traveled to El Salvador to learn from and support ASAPROSAR. Individuals have shared their knowledge of health and eye care, teaching, hobbies, music and love of people as the two cultures have worked together.
What We Need
UCC Norwell provides basic financial support to ASAPROSAR for critical administrative costs, rather than donations designated for specific programs and projects. Members of our church community participate in biannual work camps, which provide collaborative exchanges, enriching the lives and understanding of both cultures.
Getting Involved

Friendship Home

What We Do
Friendship Home’s mission is to provide a
supportive environment and respite care for persons with special needs
and their caregivers. We hope to construct a staffed home with seven
respite bedrooms which will provide a safe, caring and nurturing
environment. The home is important for aging parents, single parents and
families with other children. It allows needed time off for emergencies,
for time alone, or for precious uninterrupted time spent with other
family members without the stress of caring for a needy loved one.
A wing of Friendship Home will be designated as a drop-in center for short
periods of respite care. The Community Friendship Club will nurture
friendships by offering opportunities to socialize with peers and
interested community members. Activities will include educational,
recreational and social opportunities.
How UCC Norwell Helps
UCC Norwell has graciously agreed to lease a portion of its property to
Friendship Home. Site studies and architectural planning is currently
underway, all of which will lead to the construction of a much needed
respite home on the South Shore.

Habitat for Humanity, South Shore & International
|
What We Do
South Shore Habitat for Humanity (SSHH) is an ecumenical, nonprofit Christian housing ministry established in 1985 at UCC Norwell. Working with volunteer labor – including skilled professionals – and donated funds, SSHH joins in partnership with people in need to build simple, decent housing.
SSHH responds to our area’s unique housing needs by renovating existing owner-occupied homes or building new structures. Countless hours invested with town leaders across the South Shore have resulted in donated properties in several cases. Since 1992, new homes or renovations have been completed in Weymouth, Cohasset, Abington, Braintree, Hingham, Whitman, Quincy, Brockton, Randolph, Hanson, Hanover, Marshfield, Sharon, Pembroke and Rockland.
Work is completed at no profit to SSHH. Volunteer labor and donated building materials minimize costs. Homes are sold at cost to responsible, low-income families and mortgages are interest free. Every homeowner family invests sweat equity – time and labor – into the construction of their home or a future SSHH project. Mortgage payments are recycled through the Fund for Humanity and used to support construction of more homes.
How UCC Norwell Helps
UCC Norwell provides support financial support to SSHH, and a number of UCC Norwell members serve SSHH, both as board members and volunteers.

Heifer Project International
|
What We Do
Heifer Project International is a non-profit organization rooted in the Christian tradition and providing food and income-producing animals, as well as training in their care, to millions of impoverished families in 115 countries. By passing on the gift of food and animals, families build a better future for themselves and one another in the communities where they live. Partnerships are formed as people learn to care for cattle, goats, chickens, bees, pigs, water buffalo, rabbits and other animals matched specifically to the country which receives the gift. Offspring of the original animals are given to waiting families who repeat the process with others. This act of passing on the gift is at the heart of what Heifer Project is all about and at the heart of making our world a better place.
How UCC Norwell Helps
Each year UCC Norwell children in Sunday School learn about Heifer Project and collect money for animals to be purchased and given to needy families in countries around the world. The church matches the funds collected by the Sunday School.

Holt International Childrens Services

What We Do
Holt International Childrens Services pioneered intercountry adoption in the 1950s with a mission to carry out God’s plan for every child to have a permanent, loving home through family preservation, in-country adoption and international adoption. Since then, Holt has united over 40,000 children with adoptive families in the United States (and placed over 100,000 children internationally). By providing direct care for children in their birth countries, Holt promotes the health and development of children and improves information and security for prospective adoptive parents. The size of the program helps ensure that families will be successful in adopting a child, yet Holt also takes the time to give personal attention to each parent in the adoption process.
With a proven record of success, Holt has earned the confidence of many governments and is often asked to recommend policies and practices to protect the rights of children, birth parents and adoptive parents. The United Nations has sought Holt’s expertise, and Holt has administered programs funded by the United States Agency for International Development. Holt has programs currently in China, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, North Korea, Philippines, South Korea, Romania, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam and the United States.
A number of UCC Norwell children have been adopted through Holt. Please ask an M&O Board member for parent names.

A faith-based outreach agency, Quincy Crisis Center (QCC) serves the needs of marginalized and forgotten people while promoting social justice, biblical compassion and solidarity with the hungry, the hurting and the homeless poor. QCC tends to the whole person – mind, body and spirit – while maintaining human dignity in times of profound crisis and offering hope at the point of despair. Programs include a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency food service and advocacy. QCC provides a safety net for those who have fallen through the cracks of more traditional approaches to meeting human need in our society.
QCC’s emergency services include Food for Families, a food pantry on wheels delivering emergency food assistance to homebound families, and the Faith Covenant Meal program, which provides a hot noon meal to the homeless and near homeless. In 1999, over 850 food deliveries were made and over 12,000 hot meals were served. Food for Families also provides holiday distributions including turkey with all the fixings at Thanksgiving and Christmas, with gifts for all children.

Sharing was formed in 1972 by Kay Doherty, inspired by news of the plight of a program created to address severe malnutrition in Mississippi by Tufts University School of Medicine. Her initial response of walking to church on Good Friday to raise funds for those families has grown in amazing ways. Each year on Good Friday, 5,000+ people take to the streets in more than thirty locations around the world. In 2000, Sharing gave away its second millionth dollar. Kay derives no salary from Good Friday Walk proceeds. Memberships in Sharing, speaking honoraria, and private donations pay administrative costs.

At Christmas, gifts are sent to children including beautifully dressed handmade cloth dolls, sports balls, baby blankets and books by and about African-Americans designated for mini-libraries. Kay also facilitates discussions exploring the realities of racism.
