Heifer International: A Gift That Keeps Giving



Heifer International is one of the great charities in the world, and if you would like to do well and know that the gift will keep on giving, this is a place to start.

Heifer International's goal is a simple one: to make more very poor families in the developing world self-sustainable by giving them the livestock they need to make a little cash. Basic principles of animal husbandry are taught, livestock is bred, and assets are multiplied. Those assets, in turn, are eventually used to help get another poor family started down the road to self-sufficiency and dignity.

Heifer International is not a scam, but the real deal -- honest and principled charity honestly given and with principles carefully framed.

Regardless of your income or donation capability, you can make a world of difference today by giving a flock of baby chickens, ducks or geese ($20), a hive of bees ($30), trees or rabbits ($60), a goat, sheep or pig ($120), or even a water buffalo ($250). You can also give a portion of a larger gift.

For more information on Heifer International, or to give a gift that will keep on giving (gifts can also be given in other people's names), see >> http://www.heifer.org

Give a gift of life and hope today -- it will be the greatest thing you do all week.
