2. Explain to your instructor why some countries are considered “developing” while others are referred to as “developed.”
3. Name 5 developing countries and list three things that ADRA is doing in these countries that would be considered “development” and two things that would fall under “relief.”
4. Read about why there are poor people among us in the book Desire of Ages written by Ellen G. White (Chapter 70, “The Least of These My Brethren.”) Describe to your instructor what you learned.
5. Describe at least one need in your community that requires attention.
6. Write a short community development plan that your Pathfinder group can implement (planting trees, cleaning parks or yards, repainting public walls, etc.). The plan should describe the activity, group size, transportation logistics, and materials.
7. Spend at least four hours in one of the following field trips as a participant observer:
a. Participate with a group that provides assistance to the homeless in your community.

Specific only to places where ADRA serves (not available in the United States), this patch originally had the image of hands cradling something (which is evident in some other logos of different Adventist Ministries), in this case a faucet with a drop of water where a tree is growing. This honor was later combined with Urban Development to create Community Development. These ADRA patches originally appeared in 2002, but were later redesigned and some requirements modified in 2009.
