Some friends of ours have a children's home here called Mattaw; if you're following us you've heard of them before and have seen some of the beautiful children in photos from other posts below. They are doing a gift drive called Cows for Christmas in hopes of becoming more self sustainable, and have three already! One thing we've learned with them is that goats milk is the best thing readily available for children infected with HIV/AIDS. With donations through our Thanksgiving in Kenya fund, we want to gift the children a goat for Christmas. Realistically, they wont understand the impact of the gift, or why they will drink goats milk instead of from their cows, but it will change their lives. After all, the best gifts are those that change lives. All of these children are orphaned and abandoned, and some have stories so atrocious you wouldn't think it possible in the few years they've been alive. But they are all precious and they now know that they are loved.
We want these kids to have the best goat... the milk from it will literally give them life, and the cost for the best is around $300. We are here in Kitale with them until December 1st. Help us gift these beautiful children a goat!
