Thanks to grants from the Dharma Gaia Trust, Rainforest Information Centre and an anonymous donor, BODHI has enough
funds for Year 1 of a second expansion into an area near the first
two sheep banks, for a third Revolving Sheep Bank. We call this
Phase 3.
Phase 3 is purchasing 50 reproductive-aged ewes and nannies each year from wealthier nomads to lend to four different indigent households in the community. Thanks to you and other donors, we have received enough to enable us to
fund Year 2 of this expansion.
We are still looking for US$5000 per/annum for Years 3-5.
Preliminary report, Phase 3, Year 1
