The Faiths Act Fellowship
Hannah Shirey and Nomi Teutsch are serving as Faiths Act Fellows for the
2011-2012 year in New York City. Based at UNITED SIKHS, a
community-based U.N.-affiliated non-profit, they are working to bring
faith communities in NYC together to fight injustice. With a specific
focus on the issues of health and hunger, they are working to support an
interfaith anti-malaria project in Sierra Leone and a Sikh food bank in
Kenya. Locally they work to build meaningful relationships through
service and engagement among people of different faiths around the city .
