For those who haven't, imagine a giant water tower shaped like a peach and painted peach-color. From the backside, it closely resembles a backside! Thanks for your comments, Robert. For my background in photography see: http://main.nc.us/openstudio/tinamanley/statement.htm About Heifer Project International - It is one of the most successful self-development programs I've seen all over the world. HPI donates animals to families who have undergone a year of training and preparation. The families promise to pass on the first offspring of the animal to another family in their community. I've visited communities in Honduras who started with one goat for one family (the animals are always pregnant when they are presented to the family). Ten years later, everyone in the community has a goat and children who had never before tasted milk are much healthier. HPI also teaches organic farming techniques and natural fertilizers. The goats in the photos from Kenya were flown to Kenya from Ireland! Several have already had their kids and seem to be very healthy. In most cases, the housing for the goats was much better than the housing for the families! Local vets volunteer their time to HPI. I have been photographing Heifer Projects for about 12 years. You can find out more about HPI here: http://www.heifer.org/ Leically, Tina At 07:44 PM 1/20/01 -0500, you wrote: >Tina, >I really appreciate your talent and your willingness and desire to become >close to a community no matter where you go in the world.
