The "RB" (Regulatory Board)

from jack...

As illustrated above, in order to ensure that the goat project has the highest degree of success possible, a “Regulatory Board” of village elders (plus Pastor Sam) was formed to provide overarching leadership for the 6 women receiving micro-herds. This body will serve for the greater good of both the community and the micro-herd owners, and will also help to coordinate such things as sale-price for the goats, veterinary care, and guideline enforcement. The RB is made up of Pastor Sam, Kassi (a village elder and man of considerable standing within the community who has been present with us consistently throughout the week), and Valliammal (a woman in the community who is slightly wealthier than many of the Irla and also highly respected, particularly by the other women).
