Last Minute Gift Ideas

Still looking for the perfect gift? Try these:--Many of the Pastors in Rwanda serve with very little monetary compensation, and their families are not getting proper nourishment. Sandi Harding, a lay worker from Atlanta living in Rwanda, is raising funds to purchase animals for clergy families. Each cow (or goat) provides milk, fertilizer for crops, and the promise of additional milk to sell. A cow costs $350, with each goat going for $30. Make a difference this holiday season with a gift of an animal to a clergy family in Rwanda. Send checks to the Anglican Mission in America, PO Box 3427, Pawleys Island, SC 29585, and earmark for “Sandi’s Cow Fund” .

--Help those working to rebuild following the genocide, as Hutis and Tutsis work together on the Rwandan hillsides to raise coffee beans for export. Purchase fair-trade coffee at www.landofathousandhillscoffee.com

Make a special one-time gift to the Anglican Mission utilizing a special provision enacted following Hurricane Katrina. To read more, go to http://www.anglicanmissioninamerica.org/index.cfm?id=B55CFE39-26FA-4649-8C438A1C1F7DBD35.
