A Bank That Lends Goats
In Korawan, a remote area of India, there’s a bank that allows people to deposit goats as savings, or borrow goats on credit. Local coordinator Subedar Singh explained how it works:
“Wives of these people help them in crushing stones and breed two-three goats for additional income,” Singh said.
“Though the area is best suited for goat breeding, no effort was made to establish it as a full fledged business activity,” he said.
“We provide goats to women having interest in taking up breeding as a full-time activity as loan. When a goat gives birth to kids, generally two to three in numbers, one of them is deposited with the bank again,” Prema explained.
Goats in the bank are medically examined every week.
“In case a goat dies, then it is either replaced from the market or from the bank depending upon the availability,” Prema said.
Mussed, ginger Cumberbatch for the win!
msbelle, can you drop me an email? I don't have your new email addy.
I don't think I understand how to submit something for Tumbler? Like, how do I make a link (do I use HTML, or will it link for me)
There's lots of tools for that. Play around with the stuff on the dashboard - put a simple url into 'link', for example. It's far more user-friendly than most blogs, which can be a bit restrictive/confusing for some of us who know a bit more about how things work!
Edited because I did not finish, apparently.
It will link for you if you click "submit a text post" and pick "submit a link" instead.
And sometimes I edit submissions if I think more of the story should be in the post, or I want to include a picture or something, but not always.
Thanks-
I sent in something about sloth rescue, but I am not sure if I did it right.
Wind Up, The World’s Smallest Car
“Wind Up”, created by Perry Watkins, is officially the world’s smallest car, measuring 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.
It's fine as-is, but if you submit as a link instead of a text post, you can have the headline link to the story.
