Okay, so I lied about not posting again before Christmas. I've just seen that Nate Bransford is doing an awesome fundraiser on his blog for Heifer International, an organization I have been donating to for years!!
Heifer gives different animals to people in developing countries around the world and teaches them to run a sustainable business with the animals. For instance, you can donate honeybees to a farmer and Heifer will teach them how to beekeep and sell honey and wax. They also require the recipients to share the offspring of their animals with others. This organization rocks so hard!!
So, Nate and his wife are donating $1 for each comment on his blog post up to $1,000. I can't do that much, but I'll do $1 for each comment made before 11 PM on Thursday the 23rd, up to $100. So, please comment on this post to increase our gift to Heifer!
Check out the Heifer website here. Thanks for the awesome idea, Nate!!
Hooray for Heifer! Thanks for participating!
