Magnificent
Milking Machine
Ever
had to get up at the crack of dawn to milk a bunch of
cows? By hand? For a couple of our families at our Las
Palmas Children's Village in the Dominican Republic,
this has been the routine for twenty years.
|
|
|
The
daily milking of our dairy herd at Las Palmas
is the responsibility of these families. The house
father and the male children arise very early
each day to hand-milk the cows. This process takes
several hours and |
| is
done before the boys go to school! We
would like to provide them with a mechanical milking
machine that will not only modernize the process
but also save time. The time saved would allow the
cows to be milked twice each day! |
The milk procuced is
used by the families at Las Palmas. Surplus milk is
made into cheese also providing food for these families.
Any surplus to requirement could then be sold to the
local community to provide an income.
If you know of a used
machine that could be donated or if you would like to
donate a new milking machine, call the ICC UK office
now.
Note: Next month
we'll have for you a full list of needs.
