This is Shelly and she is holding a black goat that is 1 week old in this picture.
The Goats name is “Chili”.
This is Chili (black goat) and Jalapeno- the brown goat. They are brother and sister.
Craig, Shelly and family are in the process of going to Naranjos de Afuera Mexico. We met them a week or so ago while we were on our trip. They are trying to get the goats to this destination. The Village needs the milk that the goats can provide. This family will be able to help the local people by providing much needed milk and goat cheese.
She told me a quick story:
Night after night she heard this baby crying and crying in the village. She asked why is this baby crying night after night….all night long. She was told that the father of the child was an alcoholic and spends all the money. She went and purchased powdered milk for this baby. She said that night there was no sound of crying. (Apparently powdered milk is what they have more access to). Wow, that really tugs on the heart strings.
I didn’t take pictures of all the goats that they had that day. I really wished I had. They were beautiful goats. One was named silver. She produces 2 gallons of milk a day! Just think about that….and that is just one goat. What an impact this could make for the local people. There are also 6 goats that are expecting.
This family is actually going to live among these people. They want to help them. However, there is a lot of red tape in trying to get the goats to their destination.
I just found out that if something doesn’t change NOW, the goats will have to be sold.
I ask that you take time…right now… to please pray for this family and the village people.
