Received interesting mail today...

I remember getting this last year and thought I would share about it this year! Each year we struggle to think of gifts to get our loved ones and suddenly our charity stops to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

I think this is a wonderful idea!!



Oxfam Unwrapped
Give a gift that truly gives twice!
Got a special occasion coming up? Want to give a loved one something unique?
Oxfam Unwrapped is a chance for you to share with your family, friend or loved one the gift of making a real difference to someone's life.
How it works
You choose one of the exciting gifts from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalog.
A personalized card goes to you or your friend or loved one – it shows how your gift is making a real difference.
Your donation turns into a gift for those who need it most.
From water jugs to school books to goats, all Oxfam Unwrapped gifts benefit those living in poverty.

In the booklet I received it had pictures of goats, chickens, cows, ducks and a few other animals....I thought this was awesome!! I would rather teach a man to fish so he can eat for a lifetime with one of these gifts than just send money to the oragnisation! I know the money helps also but to give someone in another country an animal that will provide for them and their family is great!!
I just thought I would share, I know this is not for everyone but its a great idea to pass along!

God Bless,
