Cow Seva Opportunity

During the holy month of Kartika (October 29th - November 28th) Bhaktivedanta Academy students collect funds to support the cows on the New Raman Reti temple property. This year we have set a goal to raise $255. With these funds students are sponsoring the purchase of:

• New 12 foot pasture gate
• 150 pounds of feed grain
• Growing and harvesting of 1 hay roll
• Fertilization and maintenance of 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!
