I love this idea. My kids are a bit young for it, but we started talking about giving. World vision (I think) does a program where you can purchase farm animals, medicine or school supplies to go to underdeveloped countries. We talked about giving gifts at Christmas (instead of just receiving) and how the animals we chose would help a family.
