We're giving Noah a sheep for Christmas.
(Last year we gave him a flock of ducks.)
Okay, so we're not actually giving him a sheep - we're giving one to an impoverished family on his behalf, through Heifer International. And in return for receiving that sheep, the family will give one of its offspring to another needy family in their community. That family also agrees to give away one of their sheep's offspring - and before you know it, the whole village has soft, warm wool & the hope of self-sufficiency!
Advancing the cause against hunger & poverty - a sweet Christmas present!
