NEXT GIFT....A PIG

In honor of Warren's generous spirit, the Warren Parkes Memorial Fund has just donated a pig to a poor family across the world.

Why'd we give a pig? Here's a bunch of great reasons:
"To help hungry, undernourished families put protein back in their diets at little cost, Heifer teaches farmers how to raise healthy pigs in countries where waste products are the only available feed. In Honduras, pigs eat rejected bananas, and in the Dominican Republic, they thrive on damaged yams.

Using resources once considered worthless, impoverished families worldwide supply themselves with the protein and income they need to improve their lives. No wonder families smile over their Heifer pigs (from Heifer website)."
