If you're counting down the final days until Christmas and feeling stressed about finding the perfect gift, I would like to suggest you check out the World Vision gift catalog.
The global Christian humanitarian organization has made it possible for you to supply a life-giving "miracle with fur" to a family in desperate need in a developing country. For the price of two soccer balls, you can help lift an entire family out of poverty.
World Vision's Brian Duss recently visited Studio 5 to share how the program works. He's traveled to Haiti, Iraq, South Sudan and Zambia to witness the tangible results of the gift giving.

"To meet children whose lives are transformed, who because of that gift a goat, now have a chance to go to school, now have a chance to have medicine, there is really no way to describe it," Brian shared, noting that the goat is the organization's most popularly sold animal in the catalog.
Brian brought a few furry friends with him on his visit to our show. They included alpacas, sheep and of course, goats.
The Word Vision organization is "dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice."
A gift to World Vision is the chance to lend a hand to "the least of these."
