The ever-growing job description

Manage finances. Prepare reports. Deliver pigs. Wait. Since when does administration include swine delivery? Since last week, apparently: as part of our investment in an up-country orphanage's agriculture program, we asked them to prepare pens for four pigs, and Cramer and I delivered them last week to tremendous excitement on the kids' part (the home had a piggery before the war).

Soon, these three females and one male will provide the orphanage with sustainable income and a reliable, nutritious food supply. As an added bonus, we were able to support another orphanage by buying the pigs from THEIR agriculture program (69 pigs and counting!). Later on, the two homes can exchange males to keep growing.

I hope this pilot program will soon benefit more homes. It's always exciting to set a project in motion that you know will keep on snowballing for years. (Pictures soon!)
