One Goat and Two Chickens
The Sunday School classes were taking donations to purchase a goat through Heifer International. They not only raised enough money to purchase the goat but were able to purchase two chickens! Way to Go!! Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. With gifts of livestock and training, Heifer projects help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as "living loans" because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift - a cornerstone of the Heifer International mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace.
