Every Sunday we will highlight some of the people who are funding our work creatively or helping us spread the word of our mission online. If you spot Heifer International while you’re surfing the web or know of a fun or creative fundraising effort, please share it with us here in the comments.
Third grade students at Lakewood School have been busy reading books for pleasure, to become better readers, and at the same time they have been helping end world hunger and improve the environment through Heifer International’s Read to Feed program.
