Last year my mum got quite upset when I bought her a goat for Christmas. “What am I going to do with it? I live in an apartment for heaven’s sake.” She later discovered it was in fact an Oxfam goat that was actually going to a village in Africa. Anyway, this year I’ve decided to buy her something a little more fashionable. The Hot Girls Fancy Stitch group offers support for women affected by HIV and AIDS with something as simple as a needle and thread. The group not only provides an income source and skills training but also gives these women hope for the future. And best of all, it’s a lot easier to mail than a goat.
