Field Worker - Guatemala, The Republic of Georgia, Sierra Leone Guatemala, The Republic of Georgia, Sierra Leone Posted by: First Things Foundation Contact: adrian@first-things.org Position: Field Worker Locations: Guatemala, The Republic of Georgia, Sierra Leone First Things Foundation First Things Foundation started with our Founder John Heers who served in the Peace Corps in Mali, Africa. He was assigned to work only on water wells but the community he was living in wanted a bridge. John kept enforcing the idea of water wells, mainly because that was the subject in which he completed his training. The community chief met with him and was basically on the verge of kicking John out of the village because the community wanted to construct a bridge, but John was still pushing water wells, they had no use for more water wells. So, John finally listened to the community, raised the money and built a bridge for that community. This is where the First Things Foundation was born. We focus on the idea that a lot can be done by listening!
