News from Terry in Berega

Kristen, Tisho, Ethan, Lucas (Tisho’s cousin), and Terry left Morogoro to inspect four goats as prospects for the Berega Infants home Dairy Herd.  They drove up a narrow and winding mountain road that eventually turned into a foot path. As they crested the mountain, they had a wonderful view of Morogoro behind them and a beautiful mountain village before them.  Picking up a local guide, they went further down the foot path until they could no longer continue by vehicle.  Disembarking, the walked the final kilometer on foot.  They came to the farm of a farmer who had received crossbred dairy goats and cattle from Heifer Project many years before.  His goat and cattle had multiplied and he was now in the position of being able to sell a few.  Two of his goats had potential and Tisho started the bargaining process while Kristen, Ethan, and Terry inspected the dairy cattle.  Ultimately, it was decided to purchase the better of the two goats and a one-year-old heifer from his best cow. The beginnings of the Berega Dairy Herd.  Thanks be to God.
