Today (August 13, 2013) was our first goat distribution to 51 leaders from 16 teams from three towns in Haiti: Gonaives, Ennery and Gros Mornes.
These leaders work with 288 players, 18 from each school.
It was a beautiful day, but thankfully not as hot and humid as it has been lately, so the goats fared well in the back of the two pick-up trucks and small dump truck we took on the trip.
When we arrived at Gonaives all of our leaders were waiting patiently to get their goat and after a short devotional and review of the contract that explained the program, they each got a pregnant female goat of mixed Haitian and Boer stock.
In addition, each town received a half Haitian / half Boer buck to continue to breed with the program’s female goats and also share with their communities.
We left at 7 AM G and did not get home until 7 PM, but it was all worth it to see our leaders so excited about getting their goat and also desiring to teach their players how to raise goats!
