A Vote: What to Get My Mother For Mother’s Day

I’ve been a bit slack about my own Mothers’ Day shopping. My mother has an active social conscience and enough posessions to fill her house. So, based on the Save the Children report on the state of the world’s mothers, I’ve decided to give her social conscience a gift (you’d think her conscience would get full too, but no, like her capacity for love, it keeps getting bigger and bigger).
There are so many opportunities to give gifts that change people’s lives, that I am having a hard time to decide what to give my mother. In the World Vision gift catalogue, there are two choices in my price range:
I can give 2 mosquito nets to protect 8 children from malaria
-or-
2 bunnies for breeding/meat source purposes
I can’t decide which, so I am opening it up to a vote. Comment below and tell me which I should buy by tomorrow morning.
I like the mosquito nets (though the bunnies are cuter.)
I think this is a great idea! Last year my wife and I gave each other a goat for Christmas.
Yes, the bunnies are cuter, but ultimately they are foood…
I think the mosquito nets are the best gifts!
it’s a great idea to give away these sort of things, and wonderful to recieve!
I’d go for the mosquito nets.
I’d say mosquito nets… not only is malaria important to prevent but mosquito bites are so itchy. And while I know I am lucky to live somewhere with a lof of food options, I still couldn’t finanically support bunny eating.
I’d go for mosquito nets, I hate mosquitoa with a passion.Tis true though that the bunnies are cute.
