If you open your mailbox this season, it is likely plumb full of solicitations to buy and to give. Among the requests from charities, you may have also seen something that looks more like a catalog.
The World Vision catalog is exactly that -- a list of items you can buy -- but all of them go to needy families across the world. While your kids are peering over catalogs with toys and books and video games, this one special catalog may also be of interest to them. This catalog contains chickens, goats, books, and vaccinations; these are all things your kids may not even realize needy children can use!
What can a concerned person give with just $50 this year? The World Vision catalog offers:
- 4 chickens, which can provide meat and eggs
- A share of a cow, which can provide milk and income for a family
- Safety for a formerly exploited child
- Career training for women
- $400 worth of school supplies
- Water for 2 people
- $250 worth of emergency food
- $400 worth of new clothing
- 2 Bible in a child's own language (plus money left over!)
- A wheelchair for a disabled child or adult
- Life-saving vaccinations
As you can see, your gift is multiplied and can go much further for these people than it can go in your own home! And you can give with as little as $10!
The African Soapstone box, shown in the photo at the top of this page, is hand-carved and perfect for storing your favorite jewelry. It is yours with a donation of $85 or more to World Vision!
Or, perhaps you'll choose this Balinese multi-strand necklace, full of color and texture. Also a gift you can choose from at the $85 donation level.
To see a full list of gifts with donation, or the actual donation options, be sure to visit WorldVisionGifts.org! You can read more about World Vision at their Facebook page.
