Springtime in the Northern Hemisphere and many thinks of planting. And I hope you will think of your donations to Kids for Kids in the same way.
We have just had an update from Abu Degeise, one of the Kids for Kids adopted villages in Darfur. When Afaf the poorest widow in the village received the loan of goats from Kids for Kids, she put every energy into learning to care for her goats, and she has succeeded beautifully. When we were first in Darfur we were told that people knew how to look after their animals, but animals were dying. Our Animal Husbandry Courses are now the most popular in Darfur! Afaf's children are thriving and she has seen the benefit of one glass a day of goat's milk for her own children.
And now, even more, good news. Afaf decided to become the donor just like you! She regularly takes goats' milk to the kindergarten Kids for Kids has built in the village and donates that milk to help poor children survive. With so little in life, she gives to sustain and help the children grow stronger.
In two year's time, this widow has grown her little flock of 6 goats to more than 20 and can now return 6 goats to the "loan" program. Now another family will, with the help of our trained paravets, begin to make their lives more food secure.
So, each donation to Kids for Kids plants the seeds of life and hope and giving.
If you have a special occasion coming up this spring - a wedding, a graduation, a birthday - why not 'plant a goat' with Kids for Kids. We can even arrange a special 'goat' certificate for your recipient. You can donate via GlobalGiving and contact MaryJane-US@kidsforkids.org.uk for the certificate.
Why not 'plant a goat' today!
