The Grenada Goat Dairy's School Project

Hello readers! I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to a local operation here in Grenada called The Grenada Goat Dairy Project. Who are they?

TGGDP is a non-profit organization in 2008 a few years after hurricane Ivan to introduce a sustainability business model for Grenadian farmers. Grenada is a heavy agriculture nation, and TGGDP helps to support local farmers. TGGDP has played a unique role with the rebuilding of Grenada after 95% of the island was wiped out by hurricane Ivan in 2004.

So why am I telling you about TGGDP? Well, they are working very hard to fundraise $55,00 to build another facility at one of the local schools here. The goals of this facility include educating children about the concepts of sustainable farming via hands-on opportunities, youth development and furthered community development.

I really encourage you to at least check out this new project and donate if you can! At the very least, take a few minutes to watch the video - it'll give you a little insight on what it's like here on this beautiful island. :) Thanks!
