Donating A Cow Puts Everyone in a Good Moooo'd!


Inspired by recent phone conversations with friends in the village of Nagaga in the deep south of Tanzania and the Compassionate Backpackers Quest 2011 (click for link)...and I have decided to embark on a journey specifically, to purchase a pregnant milking cow for Wagumu Camp champion and HIV survivor, Bwilo. (I know it sounds like an "udderly" ridiculous idea!) BUT, a milking cow can provide up to 20 gallons of milk a day, which can be sold or consumed by the family benefiting both the family's yearly income and nutritional intake. The cow will be delivered by the compassionate backpackers's Shannon Schiele and Julie Costa in 2 months time during their travels to Tanzania. The journey to both fund and complete this project will be documented on this blog!

THE GOAL: to raise $1000 to purchase a pregnant female milking cow and to cover initial costs of feed, medical care, supplies for the cow, and transport. (100% of your donations will go to this project!)

HOW KNOW TO DONATE BROWN COW?: Click the donate link to the right of your screen to donate with credit card. Hunt me down and give me cash. Or send me a check.

I can be contacted at jessicalhayes@gmail.com for further details.
