This past year, the International Children's Care project in Nicaragua experienced hurricanes that damaged crops across the country. The food budgets for the program were saved by the cows that gave milk and the chickens that provided eggs. The milk was able to be traded for other items.

Oasis Women's Ministry would like to help by raising enough through financial donations that any ICC project is able to purchase some chickens and a cow to help provide eggs, milk and cheese for the children. ICC also wants to establish industries that will provide additional sustenance to the children's villages.

2009 has been a tough year but you can help make 2010 a better one!

A cow costs $500. You can help buy one:

• Face $50........Ear $5 x 2 = $10
• Eyes $10........Nose $10
• Right side $50..Left side $50
• Back $50........Belly $50
• Udder $50.......Tail $25
• Leg $25 x 4.....Spots $5 each
• Baby chicks for laying hens $3
