Program Today:
 
Our speaker today was our very own Mryl Nofziger. He spoke to us about this project called the Eden Children's Village. It's a self sustaining project. In 2012 28 goats were given to this village to be used for milk, meat, and hide. The village has it's own farm, clinic, and computer lab and school. A 165 orphans and  a 130 employees occupy the village on a daily basis. Of course the employees take turns working shifts either in the clinic, or the school, or on the farm. The village farms year round. Right now water is a daily battle. When the electricity goes out then they can not get clean water because the pump is not being generated since there is no electricity. They are looking to get solar panels to generate the pump for the times when the electricity goes out. 90% of the population is unemployed and the government is very unstable at the time of elections. Myrl mentioned how this would be a great international project to do as a club.
