As you wander the net, take part in blogs, sign up for Face Book or Twitter, you come across some very interesting people and ideas.

Heifer International - Just because you live in an apartment doesn't mean you can't buy a cow, goat, or rabbit. By doing so, you can help lift whole groups of people out of poverty.

Thanks for the information. Sometimes we forget that great things can happen through simple means.
Come over to my blog and see what you inspired.
This is really a good thing, Jaime!
There are so many ways to help others. This is another good one.
Heifer International has always been one of my favorite good charities. What's this with you and cows lately? lol!
