As Medhat Eskandar, our Field COO, was in Jordan this month, an arrangement was made for him to visit the centre and meet with the team at the House of Ruth. All team members were present and were excited to meet him, to hear what he had to say, and for them to be heard by him as well.

Fatmeh has received six goats, five female and one male. Three of the goats are currently pregnant. A fourth goat was pregnant but unfortunately lost its kid. During pregnancy, there is no production of milk.

Fatmeh is also doing repairs on the barn to make it a healthier environment for her goats. She feeds the goats each morning and, later, she would take them out to graze and then feed them again at night in the barn.

Both the English and Computer classes are still running nonstop for this month. The students are very interactive, learning and improving their skills in both classes. They love attending the classes. The teacher has taken note of this and feels personally quite rewarded. The teacher has offered to help and support the students to get prepared and ready for their final exams.
