The Gift That Keeps Giving!








We recently gave a dear friend, Dr. Werner Langer a goat for his 83rd. birthday. Yes, I said a goat. The gift was one of many living gifts that can be made through a great organization call Heifer International. You can select a gift for any occasion of bees, goats, chickens, cows etc. The gifts are then given to a family in need in a less fortunate country. The family's are then able to provide food for themselves and are able earn some income too.
An example would be...in Tanzania, Omari and Kulwa were struggling to raise a family on just 50 cents a day. With the training and a flock of chicks they received from Heifer, egg sales have boosted their daily income to $2, so they can now buy food and still pay school fees. Now through passing on the gift, all of the children in their village are going to school.

I urge all of you reading this to go to this website and give a gift that will keep on giving.

Go to: Heifer International. If you are truly looking for a very unique gift this is the place to shop. The prices are amazing, you can buy a flock of chicks, ducks or geese for $20, bees $30, goats $120 and different ranges for cows, heifers and ox. Or if someone asks you what you would like for a special occasion.....send them to the Heifer website and have them click on "Give".

Luv n'life,
