   On January 25, 2022, COERR Volunteer Group reported the visit to Baan Hatai Garoon Children Center in Chacherngsao Province to monitor the animal raising for self-reliance program, as follows:

   1) Fish Raising in the ditch to be sold at low price in the community market in order to help the poor villager and generate income for the church and school;

   2)Egg-Producing Ducks Program, in which the ducklings were donated by Darasamut Catholic school which received duckings from benevolent villager through abbot priest. Animal feed for ducklings were donated by COERR. The income from selling ducks helped Baan Hatai Garoon Children Center as well as the poor villagers during this Covid-19 pandemic.

   3)Egg-Producing Hens Program: This program has been promoted by the center to be a learning resource for schoolchildren. So far cost of animal feed has been supported so income from the sale of hens should be enough to buy the next batch of chicken.
