Pigs Indispensable in Typhoon Bopha Recovery

When Typhoon Bopha hit the Philippines, many Heifer Philippines project participants devoted special attention to the animals' well-being over their own, knowing pigs are a rewarding investment. Project participants also shared the aid they received from Heifer with their neighbors, exhibiting the Sharing and Caring Cornerstone. Annie Bergman, senior World Ark writer, shares how pigs have helped participants recover more quickly after Typhoon Bopha.
