I just got back from a trip to Bolivia and Ecuador, so I thought it was cool when I spotted these photos and information on the Heifer Blog.

Death, families torn apart, and refugees forced to flee their homes are just a few of the most talked about effects. There is also the lingering mental damage that is felt for many years and can cross generations. Heifer International has assisted thousands of families to rebuild their lives after being devastated by conflict. The gift of an animal provides hope for the future, hope that can sooth both the physical and mental scars people carry. Mrs. Amina Makoba’s (60) life was turned upside-down during the reign of Idi Amin Dada. Amina lives in Uganda’s Eastern region. Amina’s husband, Mr. Michael Makoba was one of thousands of Idi Amin's victims. Amina and her four children were living in desperate conditions until Amina received a cow from Heifer. Today she is caring for her family and “I am a role model for other women,” said Amina. Check out the newest Heifer appeal. This is from my recent visit to Uganda. Take a look and give generously.
