With 37 days until the end of the year (counting today), we are embarking on a group journey of discovery and giving. Each day we will be highlighting a different charity and we will be blogging about our discovery daily.
If anyone would like to share this journey with us we are always happy for help. In fact what we would be grateful for are suggestions. So just leave a suggestion in the comments below. We can't promise we'll be able to get to every suggestion but if we do select your choice of a charity then the donation for that day will be made in your honor.
Let's start with day 1 - Oxfam America Unwrapped: Gifts That Give Back
What do you think? A goat, a pig, a cow, or a sheep?
What a beautiful idea! I vote cow.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear that? It sounded like moo ;-)

I vote goat! Because it rhymes, of course, and because a goat can provide milk (and possibly wool, though maybe not in this case). I love the little film showing that the goats are given to women, empowering them within their families and communities.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Ellen that this is a beautiful idea! (I'm quite fond of Oxfam.) <3
Goat because I had goats as pets growing up. (I had a pet pig as well.)
ReplyDeleteWell, we already bought a cow but seeing as how Oxfam are offering a double match today (and plus we love goats too!), we'll make it a bonus 'day 2' today :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news and will make such a difference in two families' lives! Amazing! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThis organization was started by my daughter's friend. http://www.lacesport.org/Index/leadership.php
ReplyDeleteI also love St. Judes because they don't turn anyone away.
