The early-morning bleating of a dairy goat is a happy sound for children in countries like Haiti and Kenya. They know it’s ready to be milked! A goat nourishes a family with fresh milk, cheese, and yogurt, and can offer a much-needed income boost by providing offspring and extra dairy products for sale at the market. It even provides fertilizer that can dramatically increase crop yields. A perennial favorite, both to give and receive!

Read more over at Kat’s blog, then donate. She details in her blog post how you can get your dollar to her. Here’s the official World Vision donation page, just in case you wanted to check it out.

Wendy and I put in some money yesterday and the goal of $75 for a goat was met last night. What’s more, enough dough has been donated so far that we’re already half way to another goat.

Go be a part of this!

world vision, get a goat, secret life of kat, 40 day fast, shawnw
