66. Heifer International – Nepal

BasantiWhat most people know about Heifer International is that it is an organization that gives animals to impoverished families to provide a source of extra income. Many people also know that through a program called “the passing on of the gift” each improvised family that receives animals pass on the first off springs of their animals to other impoverished familes. It is a gift that keeps on giving. What this Heifer International video illustrates is that Heifer International does a whole lot more. Everywhere they work they provide education with the goal of making families and communities self-reliant. Basanti in this video is given the education she needs to care of the medical needs of the animals in her community. The service that she performs gives her the confidence she needs to set her horizon on becoming a veterinarian doctor.
