Goat Day Erampatti Village - Karen's Visit

On 30 September, we gave out the 20 goats to families from our village school.  This is our fourth goat group, which means we've now helped 40 families, widows and disabled people gain an additonal source of income.  Priya and Pragash worked with the school teachers to draw up a list of widows with children and children with disabilities who needed help.  Its wonderful to be able to do something practical to help ease their burdens.  To see a short video of our goat day click here
