200!!
We just received word from CRWRC that we have reached the 200 goats mark! WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who has got a goat! We set the original goat-o-meter at 100 to have something to reach for and we have already doubled that after only one round. Can you imagine how many goats will be got by the time the Canucks win the Stanley Cup? Amazing!
On the updated map that shows which country people are visiting this website from, we have now reached every continent except Antarctica! We had our first hit from South America yesterday with hits from Brazil.
For all the Canucks fans who were not able to make it to the airport at 3:00am after the Canucks won on Tuesday, I can tell you it was a good time. The Canucks all drove out in their cars and many of them had their windows rolled down and honked their horns. The best reaction of the night goes to Kevin Bieksa who was hanging out of the backseat of a car driven by Kyle Wellwood and let on a huge “woohoo!” with a celebratory fist pump. It was definitely worth the 3 hours of sleep I got that night!
THANK YOU!

This is UNBELIEVABLE!! You guys are just awesome to promote this! Before I became the Director for CRWRC in Canada, I worked for CRWRC just over 15 years in Africa (Uganda). I have seen how life changing it can be for a family to receive a goat. This was especially true with families where parents were HIV+ and living with AIDS. Even when they did not have strength to work on the fields, they could have their children take care of the goats by moving them around outside to forage. Some widows I met had goats that multiplied over two years to the point that they were buying cows and / or were able to afford a more permanent house (brick with steel roofs).
On behalf of these families who are being helped and whose voices you may never hear, THANK YOU and THANK YOU. May the Canucks go all the way!!

I love how Welly was driving Bieksa around at 3 in the morning. Guess scoring a big game-4 goal doesn’t exclude you from chauffeur duties.

I just read about you guys on Canucks.com and headed straight to buy a goat.
You’ll get a goat out of me every round. I’m sorry I can’t afford more. I’m going to email everyone I know a link to your site.
You are an inspiration and make me even prouder to be a Canucks fan. Good luck!

This is awesome! I just found it this morning.
Where do I find the map that shows the locations?
I’ll be buying a goat for sure.

2 more goats, one for getting into the playoffs and one for the getting to round two. 5 or more for the cup!
