Stop scratching around for the perfect Easter gift

Bring the traditional Easter themes of rebirth and regeneration to life for poverty stricken families around the world this year through the gift of a hen and rooster pair.Forget foil covered chocolate eggs in favour of the real thing.  For just $26 ChildFund will provide a breeding hen and rooster to a needy family in a developing nation.  It’s a gift that will provide ongoing food, income and much needed hope.  What better way to celebrate Easter?

And if you’re tempted to spend a little more, there’s the option to give 25 baby chickens for just $46.  These gifts and more are available now through ChildFund’s Gifts That Grow selection at www.childfund.org.nz.  Each purchase is acknowledged by a specially designed gift card.

ChildFund New Zealand National Director Paul Brown says, “Many Kiwis have more chocolate at Easter than they know what to do with, yet in many parts of the world children are hungry.”

“Gifts that Grow is a practical way to celebrate the season by sharing our good fortune.  We had huge support from Kiwis last Easter.  We encourage everyone to accept the challenge to make this Easter an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children and families in need through the gift of chickens.”
