World Vision's "True Spirit of Christmas Tour" - Dec 2010


This December, World Vision sent me to Africa
for two weeks to showcase unique Christmas gifts
that our donors provide during the holiday season
...everything from goats to chickens to cows. 
Every day, I got to meet a new family who received a different gift. 
I learned so much about how
simple gifts can not only change someone's life
but transform families and communities!
I hope you'll get a chance to read a few of my blogs. 
And if you're interested in giving this season go to
Merry Christmas!
