The children accepted the challenge from Rev. Riggs and earned $24.39 to buy a flock of chicks for Heifer International. Rev. Riggs asked each of the children to find something that they could do to raise at least $20 to buy chicks that will be given to a poor family somewhere in the world. The “magic” of the Heifer project is that the animals (or plants or trees or bees) are not to be eaten, but raised until they produce off spring. In the case of chicks, the eggs add nutrition to a family’s poor diet, with extra eggs being sold to others so that the family can thrive. Our children collected cans, walked with their grandmother to get exercise, cleaned rooms and did other helpful things to earn the money. CONGRATULATIONS KIDS!!!
