rabbits
Dear friends,
Yesterday we traveled to Greener Pastures to pick up the rabbits. ?It
was an amazing place. ?2500 rabbits each carefully tended for.
Careful records kept. ?In addition, geese, dogs goats, cats, all
living together in harmony. ?Quite amazing. ?Their eventual dream is
to assist the local people in raising rabbits? ?so they were very
helpful to us. ?We stayed about 3 hours, and came away with a wealth
of knowledge. ?The we were 3 youth, one church leader, and Pastor
Duma, in addition to our whole group. ?What is so fun is to see our
young people, Kevin and Elizabeth interacting with the Shiyane youth.
We had 2 pickups and 2 Avanzas (7 passenger vehicles)? ?we got 8 cages
and 16 rabbits into the cages? ?we purchased 8 pregnant females, 6
other females, and 2 bucks. ?Meanwhile, the youth have been hard at
work making more cages for the other rabbits. ?When we got to
Enthembeni it was simply a delight to hear the laughter as camaraderie
as they were building cages together. ?Elizabeth was the expert on the
ground? ?take this rabbit, put it there. ?Tim was the master ?builder?
?sometimes one of the young people were hitting a finger, but the
cages were turning out well. ?Oh yes, you might want to know? ?we got
the 8 cages for the 8 pregnant females. ?They must settle in right
away so we ordered those cages ready to go. ?However, within a week
we?ll have 40-50 more rabbits? ?they do multiply rapidly!!! ?The youth
are playing games at night. ?They are laughing and enjoying one
another?s company. ?What a gift!
Today we hope to negotiate out the ?plan? for management? ?quite
different for having fun building cages together. ?We seek your
prayers as we continue to negotiate and work together.
Oh, yes, the chicks have only been on the antibiotic and different
feed for a short time. ?They are already doing a bit better. ?It is
good to see.
Now, onward to the current day.
