Christmas Meanings
Christmas is an amazing time of year. It seems that people are more generous, and think more about others. I know I have been the recipient of different acts of service and gifts at Christmas time and it makes me realize just how fortunate I am. Hubby has been out of a job for over 2 months. He is trying to get a business up and going so he can work for himself, but I must admit that the last few months have been trying. When I start to feel sorry for myself I have the reminder that I have good health, food to eat, warm shelter and a beautiful family. There are so many others less fortunate and it’s exciting to know that there are organizations out there that are willing to help and let us help as well.image001

World Vision
What is world vision? From their website:

Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

Inspired by our Christian values, we are dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people. We serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.

Amazing, right? I was excited to hear about this organization and help spread the word.

What you can do
World Vision has a Gift Catalog available this holiday season. $25 will buy a family 2 chickens, $105 will buy a goat, and an $85 donation for a bicycle can protect a girl and help her get an education. There are so many ways that you can help.
Make a donation of $25 or more to the maximum impact fund and receive a free gift as well. Although we are very tight this year, I donated $10 to the Child and Family Health Fund.   I don’t feel like it is a lot, but I’m sure that every little bit helps.

One Babes and Kids reader will win a Thai necklace, Thai bracelet or Ugandan bracelet from World VisionPicture 33
