Goats
Do you ever ask yourself if you are actually making a difference? Perhaps you feel so small in this great big world? Do you wonder if the donation you made ever touches the life of a child affected by HIV/AIDS?
Take a moment to look at the attached photos and really enjoy the smiles on the faces of the families YOU have directly touched. You donation made it possible for the American Foundation for Children with AIDS to distribute goats to families in Metopos, Zimbabwe. Families where widows and grandmothers are raising children affected by HIV/AIDS.
So today you can be sure that you DID made a difference in the life of a child. Many children! Now they can dream because they have goats. Life has so many more possibilities now! Thank you for making a difference.

Eliah's family received goats in 2012 donated by the American Foundation for Children with Aids. She shares her story here ..
"We received three goats from this extended family of ours in distant lands. Presently, we have six goats and one of the goats is pregnant. We are getting 450 mls of milk daily from these goats. We enjoy the milk and my three years old grandchild even drinks it fresh just after milking."
The American Foundation for Children with AIDS is so proud of Eliah and her family. And we could not have done it without your generosity. Eliah is determined to take what you have given her family and give back. You have given her that ability and you have given her hope!

Eliah
Eliah is an 86 year old grandmother caring for 10 year old Thandweyinkosi and 3 year old Nkosilindile. This small family has benefited from our goat program. Eliah shares her words of appreciation ...
"I am comforted by this support I am getting form the people who are not my blood relatives. Their acts are healing the wounds that I and my grandchildren have been nursing for so long. They are now part of our family and their support has given us hope for the future. We received three goats from this extended family of ours in distant lands. Presently, we have six goats and one of them is pregnant. We are getting milk daily from the goats. We enjoy the milk and my three year old grandchild even drinks it fresh just after milking."
This story of hope and appreciation is made possible because of friends like you. Your donation to our goat project makes you part of Eliah's "extended family in distand lands". As you share the holidays with friends and family during this joyous season, take a moment to remember Eliah and her grandchildren. No matter how far away they may seem, you have made a difference for the future.
