WE HAVE A GOAT IN OUR
STUDIO RIGHT NOW BECAUSE TODAY
IS GIVING TUESDAY, A DAY TO
GIVE BACK.
THIS YEAR TO TELL US ABOUT
UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFTS THAT CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND GREG
BROUGHT IN THE GOAT FROM
MANKATO.
SO WHAT IS OUR GOAT'S NAME?
THIS IS MERLIN.
MERLIN.
HOW OLD IS MERLIN.
A YEARED A HALF.
MERLIN IS A BOY?
A BOY.
ADORABLE.
TURNS OUT A GOAT LIKE MERLIN
CAN DO A LOT OF GOOD FOR
FAMILIES AROUND THE WORLD.
TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT YOU DO.
WORLD VISION IS A CHRISTIAN
ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO
ELIMINATING POVERTY.
GOATS REALLY ARE A GREAT
EXAMPLE OF I LIKE TO CALL THEM
A SMALL BUSINESS IN ANIMAL
FORM.
YOU TAKE ONE GOAT OR A COUPLE
GOATS AND GIVE THEM TO A
FAMILY.
THAT FAMILY CAN USE THAT GOAT
TO MAKE MORE GOATS AND HAVE A
LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION.
THEY CAN USE THE MILK FROM THE
GOATS TO FEED THEIR OWN FAMILY.
ONE GOAT WILL PRODUCE UP TO 16
CUPS OF MILK A DAY.
SO THAT'S A GALLON A DAY.
THE MILK CAN BE USED FOR
CREATING THINGS LIKE CHOSE OR
YOGURT AND THOSE CAN BE SOLD ON
THE OPEN MARKET WHAT WE'VE SEEN
IS FAMILIES WHO RECEIVE GOAT OR
GOATS ARE IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO
TURN THEIR LIVES AROUND.
THAT MEANS THEIR KIDS CAN
ATTEND SCHOOL, WHICH MAYBE THIS
WASN'T A POSSIBILITY BEFORE AND
ONE $70 DONATION OF A GOAT WILL
DO THAT.
IT ACCOUNTED FOR MORE THAN
$500,000 WORTH OF SPENDING.
SO WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN PEOPLE
PURCHASE.
IF YOU GO TO WORLD
VISION.ORG, YOU CAN SEE SEE OUR
CATALOGS ONLINE.
IF YOU GIVE A GIFT OF $39,000,
THAT WILL GIVE A GIFT THAT OF A
MEDICAL CLINIC THAT'S TOTALLY
OUTFITTED.
WE HAVE OTHER GIFTS LIKE A FOOD
KIT THAT'S FOR HERE IN THE U.S.
SO FAMILIES WHO ARE STRUGGLING
WITH FOOD INSECURITY.
AN $18 GIFT WILL BUY A FOOD
KIT.
WE HAVE SHEEP, CHICKENS, DUCKS.
LET'S BREAK DOWN SOME OF
THESE PRICES, THOUGH.
I WAS SURPRISED BY HOW
AFFORDABLE IT IS TO GIVE THE
GIFT OF GOAT OR CHICKENS.
FOR A FAMILY WHO WANTS TO
DONATE, IT'S DOABLE.
THE GOAT IS $70.
I FORGOT HOW MUCH A CHICKEN IS.
TWO CHICKENS FOR $25.
PART OF A PIG FOR $50 AND PART
OF A COW FOR $75.
YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT GOING A
LONG WAY.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE THING.
I'VE LIVED IN AFRICA FOR A YEAR
AND A HALF.
I'VE SEEN FAMILIES THROUGH
LIVESTOCK OF A CHICKEN OR GOAT
THIS CHANGES THINGS, JUST GOING
TO SCHOOL.
IF YOU'RE A YOUNG GIRL AND YOU
DON'T HAVE LAP CHANCE TO GO TO
SCHOOL AND SUDDENLY THE FAMILY
HAS MONEY TO SEND YOU TO
SCHOOL, THAT'S LIFE CHANGING.
THAT'S HOW OUR GIVERS CAN MAKE
AN INCREDIBLE IMPACT.
WELL, TODAY IS GIVING
TUESDAY SO WHAT A WAY TO GIVE
TO A FAMILY IN NEED AND KIND OF
A UNIQUE WAY TO DO IT.
WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN
THIS AFTERNOON.
IF YOU GIVE A GIFT TODAY, 31
GIFTS WILL MATCH YOUR DONATION.
SO PLEASE GO TO THEIR WEBSITE
AND HELP OUT SHO.
