One of the smaller projects we've been working on the side is the goat project. The objective is to build up some goats and then give pregnant females to poor villagers to give milk to their children or for income. We started 2 years ago with two 4 day old goats. Brother and sister, Tony and Angel whose mother had died were bottle feed back to health. Last year Angel had her first baby, Esther. This year, on 5 January, Angel had her second delivery and this was twins - Boaz & Ruth. Ruth is the first goat that will be given to a poor villager. Also, Esther is pregnant and will deliver in about 3 months. We are hoping for another female. Pictured are Boaz & Ruth at 18 hours old, and our first person from the village who will receive Ruth when she is old enough.
