heifer international allows you to donate animals that provide sustainable sources of food and income – such as cows, llamas, chickens, etc. – to families in need around the world. each recipient family promises to give one of its animal's offspring to a neighbor in need to create what heifer calls "a living chain of giving."
i just ordered the buzz about bees for my twin goddaughters' birthday (kath, if you're reading this, don't tell them! you will get an email on the actual day.). the recipient family will get bees, a hive, and training in beekeeping. the family will be able to sell the beeswax and honey, and the bees will help pollinate plants in the area which could increase fruit and vegetable yields. ok, i'm back to thinking this really is the coolest gift ever.
