Friends of Liberia KRTTA Grant
While on the KRTTI campus I was able to visit one of the small grant projects that FOL is supporting. It is the second year of a farm with mostly pigs, a few goats and chickens. The plan is to build another building that FOL is helping support and they are about a quarter of the way towards completion. The pigs that I saw when I visited last year have doubled in number and size. One boar nearly jumped out at me. He was huge!

Dear Mr. Bowman and all of Friends of Liberia,
It is with pleasure and gratitude that we are sending this final report for the poultry house project funded by FOL.
Saturday was Graduation Day, here at KRTTI, and several of our honored guests visited the farm. The new poultry house and the piggery, funded by FOL last year, received many compliments.
As with the piggery, FOL funding carried us through all of the
critical stages of the building, and we are ready to move the chickens
and ducks to their new home.
I would like to also mention that one of our sows is expecting her second litter in just a few days. (This was unplanned by us but the boar broke through two doors to do the deed). We've temporarily hired a man with vast experience raising pigs to be here through the birthing process and provide post-natal care. And we expect that a year from now we will be reporting on the huge number of chicken and duck eggs being supplied to our kitchen.
From the KRTTI community I, once again, extend our most heartfelt thanks.

Hello Jim: We just want to inform you and Friends of Liberia that the work has begun on the badly needed orphanage kitchen. Since we have received the grant to rebuild their kitchen, the old one blew down in a storm. We will be sending a complete report when the project is completed, but wanted to share a couple photos of the beginning of construction. The job has increased from a simple replacement kitchen to a larger facility which will house a dining hall and pantry, both of which the orphanage did not have before. That increased the overall expense of the structure, but Living Stone Outreach is presently collecting funds to fully complete the project by the end of the summer.
Thank you all at Friends of Liberia for your support in this project.
Sincerely,
Phyllis Gates
Secretary of the Board of Directors
