Give a gift of hope
December 5, 2007
Start a new holiday tradition this year by honoring your family and friends with a gift that spreads hope and provides long-term opportunity to families living in poverty. Heifer International has over 20 gifts to choose from, including heifers, sheep, llamas, goats, chicks, geese, honeybees, trees, and more. You can make a real difference in the life of a struggling family, helping them obtain a sustainable source of food and income and lighting the way along the road to self-reliance.
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities around the world to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. “Passing on the Gift” - a cornerstone of Heifer’s approach - creates a living cycle of sustainability that develops community and enhances self-esteem. As people share the offspring of their animals, along with their knowledge, resources, and skills, an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.
Take a moment to learn more about Heifer International, and browse the gift catalog.

I buy these kinds of gifts for a number of people, though not from this particualr organisation. I think its a great idea and one that seems to be spreading fast!
