CHANGE STARTS WITH US DIVISION 8! FTC14_303_WeCreateChange_Poster_Rnd01_v02_MO3Goats are amazing animals; they can survive in difficult conditions, aren’t picky eaters, & can produce 16 cups of milk a day, which can supplement student meals or be sold to help pay for school improvements. With enough time, they can also breed & grow into a herd!
