Outline of the original "big brother" program is as follows.
Agriculture Awareness
Project and Goals
To make available to the less fortunate, poor and orphans of our area the knowledge about where our food (dairy products, meats, vegetables, breads etc.) come
from.
To give the children an opportunity to learn the different animals, see them in their agricultural nitch and to see how each contributes to the agriculture picture.
To give the children an opportunity to experience first hand by doing (milking a cow) by hand and with a machine, making cream
by doing the separation process, making butter by using a simple, old fashion butter churn, by making ice cream using products that they have already collected on the farm and the making of cheese using the same
dairy products that they personally have collected.
To see and learn the names of the various meat animals, what they give in the way of food and to experience the taste of various farm meats provided to the
world by the farmer.
To expose and teach the children the proper approach and handling of the various animals and even to learn how to catch a baby pig and pick it up without a
squeal!
To learn what each animal eats inorder to make the products that it furnishes to the world for food, to learn what these crops are, what they look like and how and when they are planted and harvested. This is best described by our four season agriculture awareness program.
The children will learn that hundreds of thousands of jobs are available because of what they learn here.
Finally, to furnish part time jobs for any of these children when they are of a working age.
