A NEW YEAR - NEW HOPE

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
Friends and family in Zimbabwe are saying there is hope in the air. An air of expectation, promise of a better future. I am delighted to hear and read of new projects being started new creative ideas and new energy. Just what 2010 needs!!

We can help keep that hope alive.
We have new gardening projects on the go. Hope and encouragement for gardening with self sustainability the key to the future.
We also have new goat projects starting which will also lead to self sustainability.
$40 buys a goat. The goats will have about 3 kid crops each two years 6 kids.
6 kids will sell for $240 which in turn will purchase enough seed to start a self sustaining garden including fertilizer.
To help a community or village. We suggest we start with a garden at a cost of $600 including labor, fertilizer, water, maintinance etc. $200 for goats. At the end of one season the community would have a crop worth $2000 Enough to eat and sell for more seed. They would also have 5 goats which in turn would give at least 10 kids selling at $400 Without going into too much detail you can see that if this is well managed the village become self sufficient within a year. 3 crops a year.
