Then there were 300 chickens!

as we went about visiting the three satelite schools and enjoying lunch with the school officials, families came one by one to pick up their chicken. They came on foot and by bicycle with boxes and baskets to pick up the cute little chickens that offered so much to the family they were going to.
When ever I returned to the school between trips (on the back of the motorbike through the hillside- sometimes closing my eyes) I would check on the chicks, fill water and make sure they had food. Everytime a family would come, we would all be so proud of our accomplishment. We started with the idea to help last fall and now we are here in the middle of such a beautiful country side, reminded of both how much we have in north america and the importance and beauty of simple living. Tomorrow is a down day to shop and be a tourist and visit some family. Stay tuned for another post the following day when all the chickens should be at thier new homes and we visit the orphanage and meet with the officials to help set up the scholarship fund- oh...we have a party planned as well!
