 * = 1 || [[image:heifer_logo.gif]] || [] || Savannah: Heifer was founded by Dan West. He was in the Spanish civil war, and was ladeling out milk, when he came up with the idea that the children needed a cow, not a cup.

Natalie: So, he came home and sent a shipment of 17 heifers to Puerto Rico, to give to children in malnurished families. ||
 * = 2 || [[image:2545491751_9d88608795.jpg width="227" height="240"]] || [] || Savannah: Why did Dan West give away Heifers?

Natalie: Because heifers are female cows that have not yet given birth. They continue to give milk, and eventually will give a cow. Milk is a good source of protien. ||

Natalie: 70% of Uganda lives in poverty. Most of the population lives for under one dollar a day. ||
 * = 4 || [[image:heifer_budget.png]] || [] || Savannah: When you purchase a Heifer, Chicken or other animal, It is flown to the country and the owners are trained in how to use it.

Natalie:The organization teaches owners how to take care of the animals so that they are not abused and are most providable.

Savannah: About 70% of the organaztions costs acctually goes to the heifers. The rest goes to funding planes, salaries, and advertizing. ||
 * = 5 || [[image:africa.png]] || [] || Natalie: This number should really be greater. If Heifer claims that Africa is starving, how come it does not donate more money towards the cause?

Savannah: Heifer has claimed to help lots of citezens. They can cause jobs to be built.

Natalie: Heifer creates jobs and work because families can sell the animal hide. ||
 * = 6 || [[image:heifer1.jpg]] || [] || Savannah: One of Heifer's 869 active projects is the Integrated Improved Livestock Project

Natalie: But before you can learn about this project you have to know about the country, Uganda, first. ||
 * = 7 || [[image:1050_a.jpg width="163" height="192"]] || [] || Savannah:So, where is Uganda?

Natalie: Well, Uganda is a landlocked country that straddles the Equator. And lies on the northwest coast of Lake Victoria. It is bordered by Sudan on the North, Kenya to the East, Tanzinia to the South, and Zaire to the West. ||
 * = 8 || [[image:dws-uganda-aids-orphan-big.jpg width="236" height="177"]] || [] || Natalie: Can you tell me about what it is like living in Uganda?

Savannah: For most people it is not fun. This is a country that is struggling a lot from the AIDS epidemic. In fact, they can not even get a somewhat accurate population estimate because of this terrible disease. ||
 * = 9 || [[image:uganda+050.jpg]] || [] || Natalie: I heard that they have a struggling economy where the GDP is only $900 compared to USA's GDP of $48,000

Savannah: That is true. The majority live in very poor conditions. Over 70% is homeless, and the average life expectancy is 52.4 years, which is not very high. ||
 * = 10 || [[image:25910983.MozambiqueWomanandchild3.JPG]] || [] || Savannah: So Natalie, tell me about this Heifer project in Uganda.

Natalie: Well, they're goal is to improve the lives of woman, children, and men in the town Baitambugwe.

Savannah: Oh, now I remember. ||
 * = 11 || [[image:CowHouse.jpg]] || [] || Savannah: They are going to give heifers and other apropriate animals to 90 households.

Natalie: But that doesn't seem like enough cows for the whole town. ||
 * = 12 || [[image:Liam_and_Lazy_the_Calf.jpg width="800" height="600"]] || [] || Savannah: I have and explanation for that. when the family's cow gives birth, the family must give away a healthy female to another family and this process repeats until all the familys have a cow.

Natalie: And the other part of the project is they give 89,000 seedlings of multi--purpose trees for the famils to plant. ||
 * = 13 || [[image:heifer_africa.jpg]] || [] || Savannah: So now I hope you have learned a little bit about the Heifer Organization

Natalie: And the country Uganda. We hope that this will encourage you to go out and give your time and money to a worthwhile charity like the Heifer Organization. ||
