Holiday Giving - Spotlight on Heifer International

Last year, a client introduced me to the good works of Heifer International and since then I've been an advocate of their guiding philosophy which promotes self-sufficiency. Their mission is to empower people to change their lives and each donation of each animal gift provides the recipients with training and resources that help them become self-reliant.

I especially like the fact that I can choose non-edible animals, like bees, to donate. A hive of bees generate honey that can be sold to create an income. A flock of chickens provide eggs with much needed protein to undernourished children and the eggs can also be sold. They offer a variety of gifts, so check them out at Heifer.org and see how your gift can change the lives of those who need it most.
