Thank you for all the Christmas Cards.. I spent the money this year on....

GOATS.

For the last few years I have not sent Christmas cards or bought gift wrap, I calculate the money saved on cards I would have bought and donate it to a charity, it was going to be seeds for Africa but I changed my mind and bought Goats!!

10 females and 1 lucky male for a village in Africa, they are delivered with their injections and food, they do of course breed , give milk and meat and the herds get bigger.

So a big thank you to the cards I have received from A4A ers,you helped me buy the goats.

If anyone is interested it costs just £40.

Merry Christmas to you all,

XX Jeannine

lovely thought, Jeannine, we're giving an allotment and seeds this year  ;D

We did the same sort of thing at school with a collection from the children in Y6.  We decided to buy a meal for 70 children and also bought one goat for a family.  Your donation bought an awful lot more than ours Jeannine, which organisation did you go with?

Trust you, Jeannine!!

Oops, I gave the wrong impression, my donation contributed to the 11 goats,  personally paid for 1.

It was from                   feedthe children                they send them in packages of 11 and £40 pays for one.

Sorry for not explaining it well.

Well I'm afraid that this year i've sent the Xmas cards :-[ :-[ :-[ but I've also bought pigs for Nicaragua (our school charity this year). They raised over £1400 - not bad for a small school (300) in a deprived area. Had to send the cards though - Peter's last Christmas painting.
