Food for Thought

Well you guys helped us WIN on day ONE!! Thank you so so much! We got the $100 for the day on top of our sales, that so put us at 227.89 that goes straight into our account at our agency to use when we accept the referral of our sweet little one. You all ROCK!!

With that being said, I wanted to have some food for thought today and do a little challenge. Could you imagine walking a mile or more to get your water, then carrying that giant jug of water back another mile on top of your head or on your back? Could you imagine carrying in ALL of your groceries by hand with no bags or boxes. Could you imagine making meals out of nothing and having no protein in your diet to keep you strong and healthy?

This is a very real reality for many villages and families who live in Ethiopia. They have to walk to get their water, then carry it back, then boil it when they get home. I don't know about you, but I would be exhausted!! If YOU or some friends could go in together and buy a donkey or half of donkey (that will be paired with another person who bought half) could help a village or family not have to carry their water or their food for miles. What a blessing YOU could be to a village or family. Maybe you'd like to purchase a sheep and provide 40 kids with a meal and some extra protein in their diets. How amazing would this be to have as a Christmas present that you tell your kids about?! Explain to them how many kids they are helping feed, by having 2 less presents this year. I think kids would jump on board and I think families would jump on board with this idea. I would love to know that I was helping feed 40 kids rather than having another scarf, and giving Kyle another book. These are all these things are nice to have, but it is a NECESSITY for kids to eat and not go hungry.

So, be challenged and think about purchasing a donkey or a sheep or half of an animal and help a village or family in need. What a blessing YOU all could be. You can also help bring our little girl home. Don't forget to choose Megan Chaffee in the drop down box next to Affiliate Name at http://www.ordinaryherostore.org/Donations-For-Children-In-Need-c15/
