Dear Devotees,
Hare Krishna!
After much hard work and jumping through a number of hoops, Dhruva maharaja das has managed to procure a grant in the amount of $45.000 for the farm.
The monies will be used to upgrade the barn area as well as the pastures for our cows.
Here is a listing of the various projects:
Frost Free Hydrant: hydrants or faucets for watering the cows, as well as the pipelines that lead to them.
Fencing: high tension wires, animal walk ways, paddocks.
The pastures will be divided into three paddocks that are connected by a concrete walkway so that the animals can be moved from paddock to paddock without damaging the pasture area. This is being done so that our cows always have fresh grass at the ready.
Composting Facility: road surface material and access road, and a pumping plant
Downspouts on barns;
A Concrete Pad: to make it easier for the cows' holding station in front of the barn to be kept clean. This will also help the cows so that they do not have to stand in mud and muck.
I don't think I need to tell you how exited everyone is at the farm that we will have some monies available to make much needed repairs and to make our dear cows more comfortable.
In order to be able to take advantage of this grant to its full extend, we need to raise at least $20.000.
I am in the process of making a donation button for this purpose and will locate it under the Quick Links on the left of the webpage. I appeal to all of you who live at Gita Nagari, who used to live at Gita Nagari, everyone who loves to come visit, and in general all who love Gita Nagari, to please search your heart and donate to this worthwhile cause.
You all know that our manpower is very limited at the Farm and that we need to modernize and repair so that we can get the best yield from our cows and the farm in general. Sri Sri Radha Damodara will surely appreciate the efforts you will make to help us reach our goal.
I will keep you updated on our progress.
Yours in service to the cows,
Ortrun
