Today, with our character partner's, we read a story called Beatrice's Goat. It is the true story of how one little girl, Beatrice, was given a goat through the nonprofit organization, Heifer Interantional (heifer.org) and how that goat changed her life. The children can tell you more about just how this goat did that!
This tube will hold exactly enough quarters to buy a goat for a family just like Beatrice's. The children are hoping to fill the tube with quarters this year, but we have encouraged the kids to do extra chores, or make small sacrifices (like not getting ice cream one day and instead using that money for a donation) rather than just asking for money. Hopefully, we'll be able to fill the tube up more than once this year!
