Whether you would like to give a chick, dusks or geese, you better scurry to the Heifer Progect, which has been helping people donate an animal to a poor family since 1944. They agree to donate the first off-spring to another poor family. Donations of trees, and bees have an immediate impact on the environment, and the others help a family, and slowly many others in the community, develop self-sufficency.
