Mary's Holiday Favorite List

Oprah has a favorite  and so does Mary at Bridgewater Inn........

1.  Heifer International...www.heifer.org/gift   
2.  Heifer International...www.heifer.org/gift
3.  Same...etc.
It's hard to think of another gift other than one from the Heifer Int., that can make a person or family financially independent  and install good work ethic . Buy a flock of chicks for $10.00 or Geese $20.00, a water pump, etc . Handing someone money for a meal is fine but handing them a future is better.
