Meet Eboney!

Well dear listeners you guys are awesome, we raised $65 towards adopting a Momma Llama! I just bought the listing for Eboney. I think she’s quite stunning. Look at this face:

Is that a sweet face or what? I think we made a good choice. I can’t wait to see her cria! As soon as I get photos from Sue at the Critter Ranch I’ll post them here and when the fleece comes in we’ll do a drawing with all of you who donated to see who gets Eboney’s lovely fluff!

Now, we raised over $50 so we can either put the remainder towards adopting another Momma Llama in the future (or sponsoring Eboney again after our 6 months is up.) or we can put it towards another project. Some of my favorite organizations to donate to are Kiva.org (which would be really cool because your donation gets repaid and you can donate it again and again!) and Heifer International. I’m thinking we could raise enough money to donate a whole sheep! Or we can raise money for a certain amount of time and if we’ve raised enough for a whole sheep, great! If not than we can buy how ever many shares we can afford.

What do you guys think? I’d like to keep doing these kinds of projects continuously. Group giving is a lot easier than doing everything all on your own, and it’s a lot more fun! Of course if any of you know of a local farm or ranch that is offering up programs like The Critter Ranch I’d love to donate to someone like that again.

What does everyone think? Where would you like to see your money go next?

    I love the concept of group giving! Right now I have some of my charity money funneling to a friend’s 3 Day Walk fundraiser (www.the3day.org) for breast cancer awareness. I’d be up for whatever!

    I would like to thank all of you who contributed towards this, it will help the farm and I hope it will be a wonderful experience for all of you.
    I am excited to have all of you involved…
    As soon as I have her Bio & Pictorial ready I’ll send it.
    Thanks again
    Sincerely
    Sue
    The Critter Ranch

    I like the idea of money being donated, repaid and redonated, so I’ve been lending via Kiva for quite a while. My two sons get involved in choosing who to lend to, and sometimes talk me into adding more money than I had in mind at first. But I’d also be up for whatever and trust your judgement here!
