Goat Friday


source www.worldvision.ca

Yes... there is a god!! But I digress...

Aid agencies such as Oxfam and World Vision have online gift shops whereby customers can buy gifts of livestock, vegetable gardens, medical equipment, and other ‘items’ extremely useful for developing communities. The idea is that the recipient of the gift, perhaps a friend or child, gets a certificate and warm inner glow, while the actual purchased item is given to people or communities in the developing world.

“Goat Gifting,” says Oxfam Australia, “is a wise investment choice.” And at only AU$39 each, Goat Gifting is great value for money.

Communities can start with one and end up with a herd. Best of all, the first female kid is given to another family and the process starts all over again. A sensible gift for the big kid in all of us.

Not convinced? Well, read the testimonial...

“Having goats has really improved our lives. They don’t need any special food and very quickly become a source of income. They also breed very quickly and we can share them with others.”

- Kamala Anruradhapura, Sri Lanka.

But as with any other valuable investment, one can’t afford to dilly-dally...

Oh no! – We’ve ‘sold out’ of this item.

Due to the popularity of Unwrapped, unfortunately this item is currently not available. Click here to find other clever gift ideas.

GOATERY UPDATE

The question I submitted for the FAQs in the company e-bulletin didn’t appear in the latest e-dition – although I may or may not have detected an ironic tone in the cheerful remark to “keep the questions coming”.

And I haven’t so far experienced any untoward career consequences.

How boring...
