This is not a new story but I only came across it yesterday while scanning The New York Times on the internet.  It’s a really heartwarming, true story, about how a poor girl from a village in Uganda made it to college in the US, all because of a gift of a goat from the charitable organization, Heifer International.

Read Beatrice’s story in The NY Times article here.  There is also a report from CBS 60 Minutes from a few years ago where you can watch a short video.

This story just shows that with charity, every little bit goes a long way.
