Our family decided to do something different this Christmas. Instead of spending money on our loved ones who have access to everything they need and much, much more... we are taking our "Christmas fund" and shopping the World Vision catalog.
So, in your honor, this year we are buying the following:
1 goat
2 ducks
3 rabbits
4 chickens
&
a share in a fish pond
We had a lovely family discussion about this idea and the boys were totally on board. They love the idea that a small gift/ investment from us can end up impacting a whole village of people.
See, chickens aren't just chickens. They are food - eggs, meat. They can provide income - selling of excess eggs and offspring. The income they generate helps pay for other necessities the family has.
The same goes for ducks and rabbits (well, not the egg part).
A goat is similar to the others except that the milk it provides can be turned into cheese, yogurt, and other food items for consumption or for selling. Their offspring can also be sold for profit.
You can see how impactful this investment will be in the lives of one or more who have so little. We have prayed over this investment/ gift and are believing that the Lord will multiply this gift like only He can.
World Vision has many items in their catalog to choose from - not just agriculture. I'm sure you would find something that speaks to you for your next gift-giving opportunity.
