On This Rock - Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
THE MILK MACHINE
When you are treating malnourished children, having a source of fresh properly treated Milk is essential to their survival. The orphanage at Pena Blanca, Honduras has a cow, but as she ages she gives less and less milk each day, while the orphanage and malnutrition center, need to treat more and more children each month. The alternatives, diluting the little milk you have or buying milk, of questionable age and treatment is neither a good nor an economical solution.
Our approach is to: “Brake the Cycle of Poverty” by “Teaching a man to milk a Cow.”

So, "On This Rock" has purchased a young Holstein Milk Cow with her newborn female calf by her side that will supply good wholesome milk to the orphanage and malnutrition center for the next twenty years. She is currently giving over four gallons of milk a day. As her milk production declines her daughters will increase to add to and or compensate for it. At the rate of 4 gallons per day for 365 days a year, for 20 years, that's 29,200 gallons of milk @ approximately $4.00 a gallon, which equals a savings to the orphanage of $116,800.00 over the next 20 years, and all this is multiplied tenfold when you give consideration to the fact that both mother and daughter will also have future offspring.
The Cow and calf are now in the capable hands of "Don" Louis the Livestock manager who takes good care of the livestock at the orphanage.
