38 THE RURAL VOICE
Saharan country make it hard to grow
vegetables.
"The goats my family received
from our Canadian friends are a gift
from God," said Khaireni who, with
her brothers and sisters, never knew
her father and was left by her mother
to live with their grandmother. "Now
we have lots of milk."
Though their family is one of the
poorest in, Oudey Niagia, a village of
about 400 in southern Mauritania,
they will be able to help others in the
village because of their gift. The
goats' offspring will be given to
neighbouring families who can use
the milk themselves or sell it at
market.
"They were so proud," described
World Vision field worker Abdallihi
Mamadou Ly of the children
receiving their gift. "Most of these
childrenhave never owned anything
in their lives."
As
well as gifts from
individuals, groups are also
getting together to help make
a difference. At the 40th anniversary
dinner of the Ontario Egg Producers
ill 2005, farmers and industry
partners bid up the price of hen -
shaped centrepieces at each table
until they had pledged more than
$6,000 to World Vision to buy hens
and roosters.
Churches and schools have also
come together to raise money that
can be used for larger gifts. For
$1200, for instance, you can buy a
barn -full of food -producing animals,
including a goat, cow, hens, rooster
piglets and an ox. For $500 you can
build a greenhouse to help protect
crops in harsher climates like
Ecuador or Peru .
And $700 buys a water buffalo
that can transform the life of an
impoverished family by providing a
steady food source and increasing
their crop yield. Buffalo milk is a
great source of protein for children.
In countries like India, it's also used
to produce butter, cheese, yogurt, and
oil. And water buffalos are perhaps
the most versatile of all work
animals, used to plow fields, level
land, plant crops, puddle rice fields,
harvest crops, pump water, haul carts,
carry people, and more.
There are other gifts suggestions
in the catalogue for those who don't
have a farming bent. For $35 you can
