We have been raising rabbits for the last couple of years. We have had our ups and downs in numbers. Our dogs have gotten in the cage and killed some and then some have just gotten sick and died. At the beginning of 2009 we had about 55-60 rabbits. (You know it is hard to count them because they just won't sit still all at the same time.) During these couple of years we have given some away and sold some too. Back in January before our friends the Cooks left we had the idea that we could give these rabbits to some of our pastors and widows. A church in SC had given some money to the Cooks and then they bought 50 of our rabbits for this project. The plan is that we give 2 rabbits(male and female) to a pastor or widow and then they will raise them so that they will have meat to eat or can sell to make some money. I don't think any have had babies yet that we given away but when they do they sure will multiply. Pray for these pastors/widows to have wisdom on how to make money from this project. Pray that these rabbits would multiply so that it may give some support to their families. We have almost given them all away. Thank you to the Cooks and their home church who helped with this project. Below are just a few pics. of the many we have been able to help.
Pastor Martin Zulu from Chimusanya Baptist church with his two very white rabbits.
This is the rabbit cage he built.
Amai Mwachamota built a small place right outside of her door.
Pastor M'piripiri from Chainda II with his two rabbits.
Pastor Banda from Kakoma Baptist Church with some of his family. He is keeping his rabbits on the porch until the end of the rainy season. When I went by his house to check on his rabbits he told me to make sure I gave a message to the church that provided these rabbits. He said, "Thank you so much for these rabbits you have given to me. I am going to have a lot of rabbits soon and will make lots of extra money that will help my family. We really appreciate."
