I am so touched.
I can't believe it. Tall Chris gave a family a llama for me! I could not be more pleased and touched. Because of me*, a needy family will have warm wool and transport, and will be safe from professors, hippie girls and persimmon rustlers. This is the best Hanukkah present I can remember. Thank you so much, Tall Chris.

I did, in fact, discuss getting a llama with my sister; I said I would in that first post and I keep my word to you. She hadn't read the post when I asked her, so the question "hey, do we need a llama?" came out of the blue. "Is it a pretty llama?" she asked. I love that her first thought was that I had found an actual llama that needed a home and her second thought was to establish that it will be a special llama to us.
*Really because of Tall Chris.

Actually, the gift is "symbolic" and goes towards their livestock programs in general rather than (as in Kiva) a particular llama to a particular family. So the prices listed are the prices for a marginal llama and associated technical assistance:

Depending on your opinions, this is either better or worse, but it is a bit misleading.
a marginal llama
They're giving out marginal llamas? I wouldn't support a program that didn't distribute fully qualified llamas.
A little girl is HUGGING THE LLAMA given on my behalf RIGHT NOW. I saw the picture.
I sure hope they don't abuse the power and prestige associated with their new llama.
No no. The recipients of my llama are a noble people, with the inherent dignity that comes from living so close to the land. That would be foreign to their simple, beautiful natures.
Yeah, they may be now.
Don't you just love that "new llama smell?"
