Since everyone is starting to really think about Christmas and Christmas gifts I wanted to share with you a special charity that Jeremy and I have grown to love over the past few years. World Vision is an organization that does a million different things, but the thing I love the most is that it is an advocate for children.
We have two girls that we sponsor each month. One, Marion, lives in Uganda and is nearly 7 years old. Suzana lives in Mozambique and is almost 12. One of the things you can do this Christmas is to sponsor a child through World Vision. It is about $35 a month and it will change your life. We get letters and pictures from our girls every few months and we charish these treasures. We send them gifts all the time and have fallen in love with them.
If you can't give every month I want you to think about those friends and family members that you usually give token gifts to. There are so many ways to give meaningful gifts through World Vision. Last year Jeremy and I did this for his whole family. We donated a goat to a family as one of Jeremy's mom's gifts. We donated chickens for his siblings and for our family gift we donated a water well. We were still able to give our family members other gifts, but we also gave to others through World Vision.
If you donate a gift in someone's name you get a great card from World Vision that you can give to your friend or family member that says what was donated and how it helped. Please look through the catalog at http://www.worldvision.org/ There are gifts starting at $25. You will be shocked at the fabulous way you can make a difference this year.
