We started pulling lottery prizes for the 2014 fundraiser!
Hi! So last week we received our first big shipment for the 2014 fundraiser from one of our long-time sponsors, Prime Books. These guys sent us some awesome books, as usual.
It's official--we've randomly matched names and lottery prizes, bundled stuff together and even started packing things!
As we get ready to pull lottery prizes, the final donation total is in from Heifer International: $678,229.31. If all of that went to buying heifers alone (at $500 per heifer), that's a herd of 1,356 cows.
There's a very special book, with a very special story. Not just the story that's within its pages (though, that story is highly recommended), but the story surrounding the book, how it came to be part of the Worldbuilders fundraiser, and how many lives it has touched in the past decade. Are you ready for the story of a book?
On this Giving Tuesday, we want to talk about some of the families who have benefited from Heifer International's programs abroad. Your donation does so much more than buy a goat or seedlings. It provides people a means to improve their own lives.
