So We Bought A Goat

So we bought a goat the other day.  No, it's not in the back yard.  It is on its way to Africa. 

We started this project because we wanted to give our Son a good story.  We wanted to teach him that life is about more than TV or internet games.  We wanted him to learn about giving and the joy of sharing our love with others.  So we went to compassion, let Augy pick out an animal to give and we started earning and saving money. And after a few weeks, we bought that goat and sent it to a villiage in need.

And guess what! 

Now we are saving for a cow.

Heather has documented the Great Goat Journey Here and Here.  She tells it well and you should check out her stories.  I've posted the thank you video below.  If you'd like to buy a goat or another animal, you can go to Compassion and join in the fun.
