Default the work of send a cow

Hello everybody, I'm Jess from Send a Cow and wanted to take the chance to introduce myself here on this wonderful forum. Send A Cow is a charity based in Bath, United Kingdom and we run sustainable agricultural programmes in nine countries in Africa to help small-scale farmers overcome poverty and malnutrition. We were founded in 1988 by a group of UK farmers who sent cows to families in post-conflict Uganda. The idea is that by developing strong community groups through education, and sustainable agricultural systems. If you want to find out more and see how you can help change a families future through ethical and sustainable farming get in touch! I look forward to chatting with you all. Thank you very much for having me here! :-)

thanks for the warm welcomes guys :-)! Yes we do send cows but they are bought in Africa and the focus is more on sustainable farming and teaching methods that can be passed on throughout communities. We recently just heard of a great case study where a family received a heifer from Send a Cow, along with extensive training in how to care for the animal, how to work effectively with their community group, and how to use the manure from their animal to grow napier grass, crops and vegetables. Since then, they have gained another cow and have milk to drink and sell, they’ve started growing crops and fruit to sell at market, and the family have a nutritional, well-balanced diet.Not only did they give their cow’s first female calf to another family in need, in accordance with the Send a Cow code, but they’ve also helped many other farmers to increase their crop yield using susatinable organic farming techniques.

you may see it that way , but don't you think it would be selfish of your part ? what about the rest of us ===== you are not leaving anything left for us to do === that is a joke ==== but seriously a job well done is better , than a thousand task , that are never finished ==== concentrate in this job , that you are doing [ which you are doing great ] and learn so you can be prepared ,and ready for the next one ---- do not worry , for you may get sick , and enjoy what you are doing === you are in my prayers , friend .

my friend I do not know what you believe in , but even if you were not a believer [ which I know you are ] it would make no difference to me ==== actions speak volumes about a person --- it is an honor to say I know some one who cares about this beautiful world in which we live , that chooses love over hate ---- if you ever want to share your believes with me is fine , or if you choose not to is ok by me too , as long as you be who you are -- that is enough for me === may the LORD's blessing be upon you , and his guidance , that may keep you being this person , that this world needs --- I do no see how in the world it would affect our friendship -- by the actions you truly know people , so I know you already ---- concentrate in this great job you are doing , and do take a brake once in a while ==

I am glad to hear that Don't worry i also believe one and only God, Jesus and the Bible but not Matta, Marcus, Luka, Yuhanna. I believe the original that Jesus brought.
I took a brake already for few days but i can't stop myself to do few changes everyday
A charity send me some papers. They make surgeries for blind kids. A surgery costs 1500 usd. Its sad to hear that a kid can't see because they don't have such amount of money

glad to hear that ==== for me GOD is , and to no else be the glory , and power === Jesus the Christ did what sacrifices could not do , give us the right to be called children of the most high , and in his name find salvation ==== when GOD comes to judge this world , as he will ===== but there is only one GOD , at least for me , the merciful one . I do not worship images or drink alcohol or eat pork , but I do this because is for my own good , besides not image can help , but only GOD ===== in this I believe with all my heart , and soul but always open to GOD wisdom trough his comforter === I do not pass judgment , only GOD does this , and I respect the choices , that people make even when it hurts me to see them go astray , I know that is their chaise given by GOD , the great , and good one . ==== now kreal be wise , for you will receive many requests , but there is so much that can do ===== it is better for a strong river , than many small ones , that could barely give water === concentrate in what you are doing , you will be in time help those children , but leave some work for the rest , and double check ===== it is sad , but many times I gave money to people who lied , so be careful now you have a large family to take care of === be real careful ======wish you the best of blessings ==== friend and yes friend do not compete with GOD , you want to give so much , and that is great but only GOD gives it all ==== I know , that you know this , but don't worry too much , I don't want you to get sick

Thank you for advice my friend
Its nice that we pass this belief issue. I was worried about this. I do not drink alcohol and eat pork either and i also dont pray to images and statues. I do not even dare to picture Him.
God bless you my friend. I will be careful
