June 2011 - School holidays and more goats

During June, the boys enjoyed several weeks break from school. The youngest boys attended a week of children's activities at Pastor Daniel's church in Madurai. Along with 350 other children, they played games, did craft, sang songs, watched dramas and held a big march through the neighbouring streets. Our first round of goat recipients in Kalkudi started returning their male goats. These were sold to pay for 10 new pairs of goats which were given out to another 10 people in Kalakudi. The goat rearing project seems to be going well in this village, with everyone from the first round able to keep a pregnant female from their pair. A new boy and a new warden also joined us at the beginning of the month.
