During the Mid Devon show, St Boniface Vets had the pleasure of meeting David Bragg, who is the Founding Farmer and Programme Co-ordinator at Send a Cow.  As a co-founder, David was part of the team who started fundraising in March 1988, and by July 1988 they had raised enough to send the first group of 26 in calf heifers to Uganda.
 
David spent many years as a dairy farmer, in Devon, and has been fulfilling a role within Send a Cow for over 16 years.  Visiting the show, with David, was Mesfin Abebe, who is the Ethiopian Southern Region Program Manager.  Mesfin has been in the UK, studying a Masters at Reading University, which he completes at the end of September.  His dissertation involves comparing the way communication encourages innovation between farmers in the UK and Ethiopia.
 
St Boniface Vets are well on their way to reaching the 453.95 miles via, swimming, cycling, running and slightly more usual, roller skating, canoeing and horse riding!

If you would like to make a donation, we have a collection tin in reception.
