Best Christmas Gift Ever
This really has to be the best Christmas gift ever. If all was right with the Western world and the U.S. in particular, this would be at the top of every Christian’s wish list:
Peace is paying dividends in Sierra Leone. The same civil war that depleted the country of tools and work is now providing ample raw material for recovery: weapons. Enterprising blacksmiths and metal workers convert them into farm implements so that a Kalashnikov becomes hoes and axe heads and a rocket launcher transforms into pickaxes, sickles and even school bells.
Prices start at £25 (or €36 and $42). That’s particularly cheap when you consider just how seldom do you get to buy the enactment of Biblical scripture while celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace.
We’ll be buying ourselves a Kalashnikov.
Update
I looked deeper into GoodGifts.org and it checks out entirely. Good deal!
