Meeting them was an awesome experience. Arminda generously shares her winsome smile with everyone. She’s an inspiration. The whole trip to Bolivia is one I will never forget. Thanks and blessings Ceil!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Deb! I’m heading over to check it out now. I just wanted to let you know that we think pigs are the best gifts to give along with chickens and goats. Thank you for sharing this wonderful ministry.
Thanks for your encouragement Heather. The gift of animals is life-giving for a family in need. It gives them health and hope. Blessings to you!
