Today is THE DAY! The Poultry Farm will be complete!!!
The first two months of laying eggs has given the youth tertiary scholarship fund over $300! Two youth will have their University fees aided by the poultry project this semester.
The youth continue to discuss ways to be smart and make the profit margin even higher. So proud. Way to go Dakuivuna Youth! And THANK YOU, VINAKA VAKALEVU to all who supported us.
30 youth* (* youth in Fiji is anyone out of school and not married..generally 18-30year olds) spent the entire day today digging the trench for the pvc piping to go into running from the village out to the poultry farm. They dug, glued pvc together, buried the pvc, dug some more, cut and measured, mixed cement, painted, hammered, sawed, nailed....all in the hot Fiji sun. The chickens will now have access to the village water (which comes from a dam)...no more clogs in the water from the dirty rain water and no more carrying water out to the farm everyday.
We did it. The people who donated. The youth. We did it. And let me tell you..it was not easy. We had our fair share of major setbacks.
