SILVERDALE--Ridgetop students donated $525 to World Vision USA to buy goats and chickens for families in foreign countries. A total of seven goats and four chickens were purchased and sent to other countries. “Service week is about giving back to the community and world so we can meet big needs in far away places,” said ASB Adviser Laura Rarig. There were many different service week events all helping people in need, however, students were more drawn toward supporting the goats. Each goat cost $75 dollars. Goats can produce up to 16 cups of milk a day. Goat’s milk is much easier to digest than cow’s milk. The milk is great source of calcium, protein, and other essential nutrients. Each chicken cost $12.50. Chickens require little money, space, or food to survive and they reproduce so they're perfect for struggling families. Chickens can produce a sustainable amount of eggs in order to survive. Some teachers pledged to kiss a goat if a certain amount of money was raised. Enough money was raised for all the teachers to kiss a goat. Comments are closed.
