Aw, dag. I am sorry to find out about this *after* my donation to Heifer; an eighty buck donation would have rocked way harder than forty.

But heck, might as well go spend another twenty, even if I am broke. I ain’t need-a-goat broke. Thanks for the heads up!

I gave a pig as well, for I believe that no child should go without knowing the greatness of bacon.

yay for baby chicks!

of course, i would prefer to donate a turtle but, you know, they are just cool and don’t really contribute anything excepting that they hold up the world and all. :)

Methinks the use of the term ’swag’ here is misplaced, at least in my vernacular. Unless it has degraded to the point where we see it as “Cool stuff we’d all like to have”. In which case, Ok then.
Great charity, already donated on behalf of the parental units.
Thanks for the plug.

@William: Sheep also give wool!

I was thinking about what animal would give you the most for your dollar. Chickens, geese, and ducks give both eggs and meat. Cows, goats, and sheep give both milk and meat. Pigs only give meat, even if it’s mmm…bacon.

Cool concept. My parents are contributing to Heifer this year.

This is very cool. I just started reading The Name of the Wind a few days ago on a very strong recommendation. I don’t normally wade into a series until it’s all written and published, but I can already see why people feel so strongly about this one. I’ll definitely throw some scratch Worldbuilders’ way.
