Cow Seva (Service) Opportunity

During the holy month of Kartika (October 18th - November 17th) Bhaktivedanta Academy students collect funds to support the cows on the New Raman Reti temple property. We have set a goal to raise $308 to:

• Repair pasture fence
• Provide a feast of sweet grains, alfalfa hay, and fresh vegetables for the cows
• Grow and harvest 1 hay roll
• Fertilize and maintain 1 acre of pasture

Please help your child earn money at home that they can donate toward this effort. They can bring their contributions throughout Kartika and place it in the money collection containers in each class.

Thank you!
