Dear Michelle, NYTimes.com has in its Op-Ed section today, "The Luckiest Girl."  It's about a young woman whose life was changed by a goat that her family received from Heifer, International.  It enabled her to go to school, & eventually graduate from a US college.  Youd' enjoy reading it, I think.  Yours in Him, Deb

AWESOME! Thanks Deb!

I've actually donated in the past to Heifers International! They are a great organization, and help those in other countries gain financial independence and schooling by raising their own cows, goats, and guinea pigs(some countries eat them).

Another good one is Tillers International...they teach people to farm using primitive and old-timey methods.
