Our great coordinator in Punjab, Jaspal Singh Madhak is coordinating and managing all our projects in Punjab. For poultry farming we distributed 1,000 chicks of the Desi variety (RIR – Rhode Island Red) to about 30 farmers for free. These chickens are a lot more robust, do not need commercial feed and have little need for anti-biotics. Now we are using the lessons learned to do an even better job of helping farmers with poultry farming. Farmers can use biological wastes from kitchen and farm to feed the chickens and earn by selling some chickens and desi chicken eggs. This has led to significant increases in their incomes!

From Fardikot we have expanded to Muktsar and Bhatinda districts. We now have three dedicated farm leaders in each place that are doing good work diurectly with farmers to help and guide them.

Jaspal Madhak has also conducted training activities to teach them marketing of their fresh produce and processed products. Pagri volunteers also helped flood relief victims in the Jalandhar and Mansa districts. In 15 villages doctors gave free medical advice and supplied medicines.
