Today is a Good Day to Buy... a Goat!

I can finally tell the goat story! I bought a goat for the Dago Support Community as a Christmas gift my first grade class. Now that the gift has been revealed to the kids; I'll share the story. It was Rockie's idea to buy a goat first & several team members wanted to follow his example. Goat's milk is the most nutritious milk, very beneficial to those on ARVs & can supply a family with kids to continue the aide to another family. We thought we'd give Deaconess Lorna the money, she'd buy the goat later & truck it out to Kisumu after we left. Lorna had other plans for us.

We had served a lunch at the Love Center School in Kawangare. We traveled back home & Lorna said "We will stop & see about a goat." We were not expecting this adventure! Sure enough, we stopped and were shown the lovely goat (who is supposedly pregnant), made the transaction and then...we put the goat in the van! Pure Kenyan experience :) still makes me smile! I held the goat's head while Pastor Dennis closed the hatch. The goat was a little nervous & left a pile in the back to prove it. Yup, it was a good day to buy a goat!
