A dairy goat for education

A dairy goat in Heifer’s online gift catalog costs $120 and it is amazing how such a donation can change the life of a little girl destined to become one more illiterate African woman, another of the continent’s squandered human resources.
It is a valuable lesson to understand the importance of education to build a better world. If only an infinitesimal amount spent for the “war on terror” would be diverted to “Education”, many lives will be saved.
Building schools and training people to become good teachers is an unquestionable way to “export” democracy.
