Chicken Program
Chickens were given to 10 families over the weekend and they are already reporting of eggs being laid. Each family was required to build there own koops before they were given their 4 laying hens. With the egg production each family is required to give 2 eggs a month to the daycare facility to help feed the children. The goal is to have 50 families in the program over the next few months. The average for 4 hens is 3 eggs a day, therefore there should be excess for their own family as well as some to sell to neighbors, restaurant owners, and small shop vendors. The local TV station came out and filmed the training program conducted by Margaret Thompson and interviewed several of the local receipients. The Mayor met with our team and was very complementary of this program, as well as the other worksbeing undertaken by the church to help the people. We give all the glory to the great God we serve!
