It being the Christmas season and all, it seems like a good time to give a mention to one of my all time favorite charities….Heifer International.
You’ve heard the saying “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” Heifer International puts that into practice. Donations purchase livestock for families in crisis all over the world. The families are then taught how to care for their animals and so much more. They are also required to give back into the program and help others in their communities. Read stories about how the program works, successes and how you can help at the Heifer International website. For as little as $20 you can buy a needy family a flock of chickens. If you’ve been blessed with greater financial resources there are larger animals that can be purchased or even whole collections of animals.
