There was a small farm started in August with chickens, goats and a cow. I am hopiong it will be successful in giving them their own eggs and milk as well as a source of income from the sale of extra milk and eggs. Volunteers could help them with the business side of that so that the project is a successful one. They have also started making batiks to sell which is another small business plan the volunteers could help them with. In addition teaching would be a great project for volunteers as in taking these children in we want them to be successful in their education so that they can have a better future. Many of them love to just sit and read a book with the volunteers. Otherwise the kids love to sing and play games and need love and attention and I am sure the volunteers will get a lot out their experience at Tuleeni.
