the other day i mentioned that i have an idea for christmas
that you can be a part of it.
i'm sure you would like a christmas card to send to family and friends this year,
and i would like to buy some rabbits and goats from the
mcc 'christmas giving' campaign.
two rabbits for a palestinian family cost $25.
one goat for a family in kenya costs $35.
photos are from the mcc website
"Rabbits, goats, poultry and fish can change a family’s life. From Asia to Africa and the Middle East, animal projects help families earn money and put more food on the table. In Gaza City, Palestine, Noor Al-Abid and her family are raising and selling rabbits. Noor’s family started with four females and one male rabbit. Just a year later, the family has 25 rabbits. Rabbits are especially valued for protein, and income from selling the animals helps families buy vegetables, bread and oil for cooking and heating." (MCC giving catalogue)
so, here's the deal.
i would love to design a photo christmas card for you for $30.
$10 from each design will go towards helping families in need.
if i get more than 6 orders (which would cover the rabbits and goats),
i would love to donate that towards a children's club
for HIV-positive children in uganda ($60).
some custom designs from last year:
if you're interested in this,
leave a comment or send me an email
and i can fill you in on the details.
if you know others who might appreciate a design
and being involved in this project,
please share this with them!

yes please!
Love that idea... nice work. I imagine Joel will want to make ours but so glad you're giving to a great cause!!
So happy to take you up on designing a Christmas card for me!
We will so do this. Last year we bought chickens and mosquito nets with all our church donations. It really got the girls thinking about how others live and about how lucky we are to live in such a bountiful country! Great idea.
Many thanks for a good time visiting your web blog. I am highly pleased and right now an aficionado. Make sure you update this again soon. Cheers!
