This afternoon we ment out to merger and did some work with the animal handlers for the kid for a kid project. These are the older people overseeing things so it was one on one educational. The area was very slum like and the kids just ran out greeting us with "hey you" over and over and the thumbs up sign, which I interrupted as gig 'em but others said no! This project takes 4th graders and they meet every sunday and learn all about taking care of a goat, then there is a test they must pass at the end of the course in order to have their own goat. 13 out of 30 passed. They keep it and care for it and as it has twins, they can sell them. They are trying to partner with a local hotel to get them to buy them. They are worth about 75US so there is big incentive. As we entered the little kids are all screaming they want a goat! Some have already had twins so that is cool for them. Great way of giving hope!
