Heifer.org : A Black Forest Project
This is why I ask you to please find it in your heart to donate. If not now, then perhaps later. If you can't give for one reason or another, then by all means, please share the link with someone else so that they can give. Every little bit helps! |
This
year we have been collecting donations for Heifer.org, a wonderful
non-for-profit organization that specializes in feeding the hungry.
However, rather than feeding him once and be done with him, Heifer.org
is different. They will give a family in a needy community an animal,
(cow, geese, chickens, goats, llamas, etc.) to a family and teach
them how to take care of the animal and in turn the animal may provide
them with gifts such as milk, eggs, wool, meat, etc. The family
can then sell the leftover products for a profit and become for
perhaps the first time in their life, self sufficient.Once the animal
produces offspring, they must pass it to another needy family in
the community to spread the wealth. It becomes a web of hope, a
web of new beginnings. If you want to unsubscribe, simply click here to remove your address.
