Heifer International

Just a quick note about one of my favorite organizations...

Heifer International works with many countries around the world to lift people from poverty. In short, using monetary donations that they receive, Heifer International purchases animals for families to help them "obtain a sustainable source of food and income." These gifts are also passed on to other families from the animals' offspring.

Check out this amazing story about Beatrice Biira of Uganda.

So if you ever wonder what to give someone as a Christmas gift, think about buying a family an animal in their name.

  • Sorry for the late comment, Matt Tillotson here. Had to add a Heifer comment - it is also great fun to give somebody a bee hive, or a goat, for christmas, just something fun about giving somebody a goat as a gift that I really enjoy!

    Good luck you guys, We miss you already.
