here for information on the 2011 Living Gift Market
and Petting Zoo.
Your donations to Heifer International purchase farm animals that provide
food and income to families in need around the world. Families who
receive an animal will then "pass on the gift" by donating their
animal's first offspring to another family in their community. We
celebrate this life giving ministry with a petting zoo featuring 40 farm
animals at SOTV on a Sunday in May.
