8 goats = 1 cow + 3 goats

It’s like a word problem from an elementary math class: “If a goat costs $100 and you raise $868, how many goats can you buy?” That was the surprising outcome when the EMC congregation exceeded their goal for Kenya’s Daylight School, a partner of our congregation. When school director Michael Kimpur was asked if the school could manage a whole herd, he was amazed by EMC’s generosity. Then he wondered if we could instead purchase one cow and three goats with the funds? Of course, we answered. “Now,” says Pam DeLaittre, congregational liaison, “the Daylight children will have milk from both cows and goats!”
