May 7, 2023 from the Top of The World

The team had been delayed because of difficult weather for the last few months of going to this village.  And so, after a few months of waiting and after climbing hundreds of steps high in the Himalayan mountains they found the man and his wife they were looking for.  Bhim Sherpa is a handicapped man who lives with his wife, Pashi Sherpa,  in the tiny village of Marpu.  As you can see by his home it is a very simple life. His big desire was to have goats that he and his wife could sell and add an income once or twice a year.  Large goats can be sold for up to $150.  His normal income is $40 a month so one can see how an income of perhaps $600 for 4 goats would be such a blessing. We purchased 3 goats for this man a few months ago and did not know one was already pregnant.  Two months ago, 2 baby goats were born and we are waiting to hear about more. We do buy extra-large goats that are healthy and often produce twins or triplets.  The plant life is very plentiful in this mountainous area and so we can “hope” this will be a larger than normal success.  Our Goat breeding program has been wonderful the last 5 or 6 years and with 150-day gestation period goats can be safely bred twice a year.  This CFH program has helped widows and others support themselves in many ways.  One lady is able to support her son going thru college. Others sales can supplement income so they can buy better food and medicine as the man here can now do. Note their smiles of HOPE.  Be blessed as you bless others.
