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)."
