Want to help but don't have enough time to knit? Consider making a donation to the Heifer Project, a world-wide organization that provides livestock to families to help them create a sustainable income and provide food for their families. I suggest a share of the "Knitting Basket", a group of four fiber-producing animals! for more info, visit www.heifer.org.
