Thoughtful Thursday- Heifer International


Heifer International's goal is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty. Heifer International teaches families and communities the importance of sharing and working together, and it teaches them to give back.

Heifer's strategy is…
To “pass on the gift.” As people share their animals’ offspring with others – along with their knowledge, resources, and skills – an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe. (quoted from their site)

Heifer’s History
This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for over 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope. (quoted from their site)

Giving the gift of one live stock can change the lives of hundreds of people. To find out more on how you can donate, get more involved and to learn more about Heifer International, please visit their site here http://www.heifer.org/
