Baby goat!

This week I have been chatting to GVN volunteer Ethan Frisch. Ethan has been working at Pipeline IDP Camp for the past four weeks. Here is one of his stories which I could not help sharing with you!

"I was visiting with someone in the camp yesterday evening, just hanging out and chatting about nothing in particular. This morning, he comes running up to me with a big grin on his face - his goat had a baby last night, and he's sure it was my visit that brought him good luck and caused the baby goat to be born. Apparently I'm good luck - who knew? Anyway, he wants to name the goat after me. So there is a baby goat named Ethan living in an IDP camp in the middle of nowhere in Kenya." - Ethan

Also, here is a very interesting article from the Kenyan newspaper, The Daily Nation. Really puts the food procurement issue into perspective:
