For each comment his readers post today, he will donate $1 to Heifer International, my favorite kind of organization - one that doesn't just give, but empowers. Heifer International provides families around the world with livestock and training so that they can make a sustainable living. And part of the deal is that they must pass along one of the offspring of their goat or cow to a friend or neighbor.
So I am following Nathan's example. Since I have so few readers (Hi, Dad!), I'll contribute $5 for every comment to this post, up to $100.And if you'd like to contribute yourself, here is Heifer International's gift catalog. (You can buy a flock of chicks for $20!)
I know times are tight, but it doesn't take much to make a big difference to someone who really needs it.
Merry Christmas!

Hey you...I don't know why, but I didn't realize you kept a blog. Am I just a dolt? Whatever the case, you are now on my Google Reader (a tool I just learned about last month).
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Fitzie.
Look forward to finding good parking spots with you in the new year!
Your Google Reader?? I am honored.
ReplyDeleteYes, here's to good parking spots and many other delightful discoveries this year!
Glad to help with a great idea! Dad
ReplyDeletePut me down for $10, honey.

Thanks, Aaryn, Dad and T! I just bought a flock of chicks! Next year, maybe a water buffalo! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Elizabeth! A few years ago, when I was still teaching, my classroom pitched in and bought a portion of a cow, in my honor. That was one of mt favorite, most memorable gifts, in 10 years of teaching. Happy New year!

Oh, and I forgot to add, my cow was also from Heifer International!
