Jordan Christian School raised funds for goats as a part of the Word & Deed agricultural project in Xe Abaj, Guatemala (located on a mountain 3000m above sea level).



Earlier this year, Jordan Christian School of Jordan Station, Ontario, collected $1,860 to purchase goats for the community of Xe Abaj. Goat milk is very beneficial for its nutritional quality and goats are relatively undemanding in terms of care. Ten families were selected to be included in the project. After receiving two workshops as to the care and feeding of goats, they received their animals.

A list of those who received their goats was made and the arrangement is that their first kids must be given to another needy family. This approach was suggested by Ms. Hamstra a teacher at the school. It is a wonderful way to share the blessing they received. We trust that the goats will contribute to the overall health and economy of this community.

We thank the students, their teachers and principal Mark Fintelman for their interest in improving the lives of these families in this remote community. Under God's blessing, the gift of the goats will be multiplied for years to come.
