3rd Annual Annuity Transfers Employee Donation to Heifer International
January 10, 2012 - For the 3rd straight year the employees of Annuity Transfers, Ltd. worked to collect donations for Heifer International in lieu of office holiday gifts. They chose Heifer International based on their cornerstone principle of “Pass on the Gift.” The gift keeps on giving-providing a stable source of food, income and opportunity to more and more families, transforming entire villages and communities.
Together they were able to raise enough money to purchase: 2 sheep, 2 goats, 2 heifers, 1 llama, 2 water buffaloes, 1 flock of chicks, 1 flock of ducks & geese, 1 pig, 1 flock of goslings, a trio of rabbits, 1 beehive of honeybees, 3 schools of fish fingerlings and an environmental gift of tree seedlings. Every gift purchased helps provide sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty for children and families around the world.
In recognition of the impact they are making on behalf of the families served by Heifer International, Annuity Transfers was granted membership into the Partners of Hope “for demonstrating extraordinary leadership and commitment to ending hunger and poverty, while promoting equitable sharing of the world’s resources, stewardship of the Earth, justice and peace…and generously reaching out to a world of communities through the life-saving gifts of livestock and training to those less fortunate.”
The employees are grateful they are able to participate in this program and plan to continue this annual tradition each Christmas season at Annuity Transfers.
