Once
again Greg Christiansen, a farmer and goat rancher from Parker, Kan., is making
his goat calendars available and all profits will go to send goats to children
and families in need around the world through World Vision. Those that receive
goats will also be provided feed, vaccinations and be instructed on how to care
for the animals.
Read
what a young girl had to say about the goats she received last year. Teopista,
an AIDS orphan and World Vision-sponsored child in Uganda, is proud of her
first gift ever — two donated goats that will help provide her with a brighter
future. "I was very happy when I got the goats," says the
10-year-old. "They will be of use to us. We will get money from them. I
thank World Vision for thinking about me, too."
Her
aunt Restetuta feels the same way. "When the goats give birth again, we
will sell off some of the younger [goats]," says Restetuta. "We will
use the money to buy Teopista a school uniform, books and beddings. We can also
buy food with some of the money. I thank World Vision so much for all the help
they have given us ... we know that those goats will be of benefit to us in the
future."
The
calendars cost $15 and can be purchased at www.grandviewlivestock.com or
