Donate a goat to a family in Haiti? Silly idea for us as a group?

I was reading about Haiti and how you can donate $150 to haitianhealthfoundation.org to give a goat to a family. A goat provides a sustainable solution to a family in need by providing milk and cheese long term rather than just one meal. That amount could also sponsor a students tuition, uniform, and books.

This sounds pretty cool to me (I have a soft spot for children and well, goats too) and I wanted to see if we would like to put a donation together and give as a group. There are enough of us that a $5 or $10 donation would easily get us to the $150.

Please be honest if you think this is silly or you just don't care to give to this cause. I may just do it on my own if there isn't any interest here. I would collect through paypal donations. I would provide proof of the donation as well.

Thoughts?
