June and July are exam times in Haiti. All students in Rheto (12th grade) and Philo (13th grade) must take a national exam to graduate. If they don't pass these two exams they cannot graduate high school, so there is lots of stress and everywhere you see students studying under street lights late into the night.
But today our leaders are taking their final exam for the Genesis Goat project. Unlike the national exams going on elsewhere, this exam tests practical knowledge of how to raise a goat. We want to know if our leaders are prepared to teach their players how to raise goats.
They are taking the exam by team, with 2-3 leaders answering the questions together. That is why you see them sitting together in the pictures.
At the end of August we should be ready to give these trained leaders their goats so they can use them as examples of goat raising. Theory is one way to learn, but practice is perhaps the best way to apply book knowledge.
So far we have funding to give our 60 leaders goats, plus one zone of 4 teams. This is our pilot project, so please pray as our leaders and players apply what they learn!
