Goats for caste - progress

September 30, 2024

Dear donors,

Things had been quiet around here for a while. The money has now arrived in Nepal. A call from the bank startled us – but the employee was persuaded not to report the numerous transfers to the government. Amounts over $3,000 are automatically reported – that's why we always transfer in small installments from different accounts. 

The search for breeders is progressing well; some animals have already been "ordered." We sincerely hope that all the animals will be together by November when we travel to Kaste.

The end of the rainy season is taking its time – the highest rainfall amounts since records began have been measured in recent days. Kathmandu is flooded – many main roads are impassable. The small access roads to the villages have been completely washed away. Many people have already died. 

We are hoping for the best, that all the animals will be together by November – but we also know from past projects that things always work out somehow in Nepal – even if it takes many detours...

We will keep you updated and send a report to everyone after the trip at the latest.


With warmest regards,
Maya & Narayan
