CHASSE RETURNS FROM GIVING AID IN AFRICA

AUSTIN, TX, July 27, 2009 – Beverly Chasse, President and CEO of Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies, Inc., has returned once again from an eye-opening, two-week mission trip to Zambia, Africa. As part of her church, Chasse and a team of missionaries met with local Zambians to discuss the need for education around AIDS, and address key issues such as the lack of food and water supply. Partnering with nonprofit organizations, World Vision and EMPACT Africa, and local residents, Chasse’s tour made three stops, which culminated in a special treat—the opportunity to meet her African sponsor child and his family, for the first time.


The first stop on her busy itinerary: Kanyama, a village in the city of Lusaka where Chasse and other church representatives partnered with locals to determine potential opportunities to improve the education, nourishment and healthcare needs of the residents. There, she spent half a day with the founder of EMPACT Africa, overseeing the program to educate pastors on HIV/AIDS education. In Austin, Beverly is a board member for EMPACT Africa. The nonprofit tackles the devastating stigma of AIDS in Zambia, and leads workshops that train pastors how to lead their congregations and communities away from the public shame of HIV. These efforts create healing and education for the African people through practical workshops, a proven step that increases awareness and addresses the suffering caused by AIDS.


From there, Chasse traveled to Mbala where she toured World Vision’s headquarters, a humanitarian charity organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by confronting the causes of poverty and injustice. Mission team members were touched by the progress they witnessed, first-hand—a result, no-doubt, at least partially due to the church’s on-going partnership with World Vision to build a local school and homes for teachers.


Beverly’s last, and possibly most cherished stop along her journey, was finally meeting the child she has been sponsoring through World Vision for the past 3 years.

“Meeting my sponsor child and actually seeing the impact of World Vision was breathtaking,” Chasse remembered. It was an experience she will not forget, and “an honor and a privilege to meet who I consider to be my extended family in Mbala,” she stated.

It is with renewed gratitude that Chasse returns to the United States. With vivid memories from the third-world regions, she plans to continue her support with both prayer and supplies.

“The African people are not looking for a hand out,” Chasse reminisces. “They are people looking for an extended family in America—and that is exactly what I promise to be for them.”
