Each year Carley (16), Ava (13), and Lindsay (11) paint Christmas Ornaments and sell them. The money Last year we donated 6 goats, and 2 hen & chick bundles!
We care deeply about people and want to help people no matter where they live, or what their life situation is. The Goat Drive was started because the kids wanted to sponsor a child, but were worried that only one child in a family might be given the privilege to go to school, or receive something special. The girls looked through the World Vision catalog, and decided that giving farm animals, see
ds, or water would have so much more impact on an entire family than just one person- moms and dads too! It was such a blessing to see this type of thinking from such young kids. We have always raised them to be fair, and think about others, so to hear and see them come up with this plan all by themselves was pretty inspiring to say the least. As the children are growing, they are looking at gifts beyond just goats and chickens, and they are starting to become aware of issues much more complex than cold or hunger. Every year we watch to see how many goats they will raise, and what needs they will strive to meet. We are so proud of them and hope you will continue to support compassion for those in need. As the drive moves along, we will post updates and let you know our final goat tally.
