I learned that World Vision Equips community organizations and churches to produce effective academic mentors and tutors to low-income students
I learned that I can give livestock to people in need. That would help them have more food in the long run.
I learned that there is a variety of livestock options (at different price ranges) to give in somebody’s name. What a fantastic gift-giving option, especially for people who have it all already! I like this idea so much.
Thanks!

This is another great organized HANDS Up not hand out program–sponsoring whole communities where it is really needed– awesome!
I absolutely love this cause. I used to sponsor a child but had to stop due to a work injury and my income went way down. I think sponsoring a child is one of the best things a person/family can do.It helps that child get school clothes,supplies,food,clothing and medicine. If I could afford it I’d do it again.Thank you for the beautiful giveaway! 🙂
My Gosh, they are pretty! This is such a common sense program. I have to wonder why I didn’t come up with the idea. Sometimes the answer for how you can help is so easy yet it takes a long time to see it.
You can give/purchase a goat and two chickens as a gift to those in need.

World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
You can purchase a goat. Goats make cheese and give milk like cows only they’re smaller and easier to transport.
i learned that one of their programs in the U.S. is The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) which is World Vision’s signature program in the U.S. Through YEP, World Vision mentors, trains, and encourages young people to lead positive change in their communities. Teens develop skills in leadership, civic engagement, critical thinking, team building, and other vital areas.
I learned that the organization is located in Federal Way, Washington.
I also like that you an give 5 Ducks for $30
Learned that I can give livestock such as a goat as a gift to help others out!
