Heifer International


This year instead of Christmas gifts for the "grown-ups" in our family we are going to make a donation to a charity. We are each going to find a charity we want to donate to and then decide as a group which charity we like best. My pick is Heifer International. The idea behind HI is simple. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. HI gives struggling communities live stock. They send animals all over the world as well as domestically. They have all sorts of different animals, cows, chickens, goats, pigs, etc. You donate money and they send an animal where it is most needed. I am really looking forward to seeing what other charities everyone else comes up with. I will keep you posted on our choice.
