A Christmas gift to Oxfam

You have helped raise $76.50 for Oxfam!!

(If you don't know what I'm talking about - have a look here).

Well done! And a big thank you for helping me with this challenge!

So now, to decide how to spend the money (don't you just love shopping with someone else's money!)




This is what we can afford:
- Blankets for survivors of disasters like tsunamis - $40
- Breakfast for AIDS orphans in Southern Africa - $20
- Bucket hygiene kit for disaster affected areas - $25
- Cattle manure - $15
- Chicken - $10
- Chicken family - $38
- Clean jar to filter water for a Cambodian family - $14
- Duck - $20
- Fishing net - $50
- Fruit tree - $35
- Goat - $39
- Goat couple - $78
- Lamb $55
- Literacy classes - $40
- Midwife essentials - $35
- Mossie nets - $22
- Prenatal classes - $55
- Piglet - $35
- Support for a women's shelter - $25
- Seeds - $10
- Toys - $29
- Veggie garden - $52

Phew!! Quite the list. So since YOU helped raise the money, it's only fair that you get to decide what to buy. Comment below with your choice and whichever gets the most votes by midday Thursday the 22nd of December, I'll buy (please make my life easier and only pick one). If there is any money left over and we can afford the second most popular item, I'll buy that one too. If not, I'll just donate as a dollar amount.

You can find more details about each gift on the Oxfam website.

Thank you!

And if anyone feels like contributing, please email me. Every dollar counts.

Waiting for your votes and linking this one up to Jess from Diary of a SAHM for IBOT.
