Went Looking For Snow, But Instead Found...

Piglets!



As you can see from the video above, these piglets have already studied the Bible stories about the Exodus and taking the Promised Land (flowing with milk, and honey?) - they have now moved on to re-enacting:

* 40 years wandering around aimlessly, bumping into each other
* Marching around the enemy to get them to collapse, before...
* ...ATTACK!!

These 10 piglets were born to the smaller mother pig from the children's home in Hoay Maw.

The large mother pig is also heavily pregnant and is due to deliver within the next month.

The safe arrival of these piglets marks a significant milestone for the home. These, along with the big mother's piglets-to-be, should provide the home with a regular supply of fresh pork, and for the possibility to sell excess pigs to contribute towards income generation.

These piglets have been produced from mother pigs which have been purchased specifically for the children's home.

We were also delighted to see that they had planted a small crop of vegetable on the South-facing slope next to the boys dorm. This, along with a crop of mushrooms they have ordered, will provide a healthy supplement to their diet.
