"Beatrice's Goat"
- a true story about an nine-year old Uganda girl and a goat
named Mugisa that was donated to her family that changed their
lives.
From the Afterword by Hillary
Rodham Clinton: "Several years ago, Heifer International
... invited Page McBrier and Lori Hohstoeter to East Africa to
research a children's picture book. 'Beatrice's Goat,' a true
story about a nine-year old Ugandan girl, is the result of that
trip. It is a heartwarming reminder that families wherever they
live, can change their lives for the better. To do it, they need
three things: resources, training, and community support. Through
Heifer, Beatrice's family received all three. They received a
goat that provided nutrition and income, knowledge of how to
care for this precious gift without harming the environment,
and a supportive communtiy that looks forward to sharing the
benefits as Mugisa's offspring multiply and are given to an ever-widening
circle of families."
"Heifer Internation
is a nonprofit oranization working to end hunger and poverty
and save the earth through gifts of farm animals and training."
