Field Trip To Heifer Project

I had the opportunity to go with Preston on

his school field trip to the Heifer Project in Perryville, AR.

It was neat to learn about what they do for

other countries and for our own. It was a good

learning experience for both of us.

What we learned is that they send a pregnant heifer

to countries that are very poor. They teach the people

how to take care of them and then when the calf is born then

they have milk. Most sell the milk to put their kids

in school. I left there with the appreciation

of the simpliest things that we have.

Preston & Christian

Preston wouldn't pet any of the animals.

When I asked him about it he said, "Momma, Do

you remember the chickens we use to have? Well,

I just don't want to get pecked again". I then

giggled very quietly.

Towards the end they showed us a video

of three different countries in which

they have helped and what exactly the

Heifer Project has done for them.

The camel that drooled a lot.

Our tour guide was actually feeding

this camel from her mouth.

Lunch Time!!!
