Donate A Goat

BAHHHH HUMBUG!

Thank you all for the goats this holiday season!!! We raised over $1200, which is another 60 goats! As you can see from the pictures, that made a very merry christmas for the villagers in Koraput. Actually, these are just a few screenshots of some great video footage that has been captured over the past year of goats from this project being delivered. It’s taken quite some time to get here (sent by goat from India), but it’s finally arrived in San Francisco. You know what that means… it won’t be too long before a video update.

What a great way to start 2011! Take that, scrooge!!

He has accepted the prize and is also taking us up on our offer to tour the tribal villages in Koraput to see his goat, “Thurgood the White Goat” help change the lives of some very deserving people.

Go Caleb!

The Goats Are Coming Home!

debrasterling — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:44:16 +0000

I’ve been working with my friends at SOVA over the past couple weeks to prepare for goat deliveries. The time has come! We are purchasing our first batch of goats in the next couple weeks. Better yet, my friend Jeff Olshesky (who I met in Koraput last year…his nickname there is “Mr. Jeff”) will be out there distributing solar lights for his fundraiser, Beyond Solar. He has generously agreed to document our goat deliveries so that we’ll get to see it in action. More to come soon. I’m getting excited.

We know. We’re working with PayPal to resolve the issue. Fingers crossed we get it up and running again soon.

Oh, and thanks for clicking on it in the first place. You Go, Goat!

We’ve done our first tabulation of donors to see where they stack up for our grand prize: a free roundtrip flight to India and opportunity to visit the remote tribal villages who will be instituting our goat programs.

While its still anybody’s game, Michael Jackson (yes, the same name as the King of Pop) and Alana Aldag are in the lead in terms of likelihood for winning the prize, with Jessica Ewing at their heels at 3rd.

Check here for rankings updates and information. We draw a winner on January 14, 2010.

Giving Bollywood a Run for its Money

debrasterling — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:57:52 +0000

Who knew there was such Bollywood talent in the Bay? This past Saturday, over 90 San Franciscoans rampaged through Haight Ashbury in sarees, kurtas, bangles and bindis at our ‘I Want A Goat’ launch party! They competed in a Bollywood scavenger hunt organized by The Go Game. They freaked out the unsuspecting tourists. They learned moves from Namita, a real Bollywood dancer. They played cricket with an S&M paddle. They donated goats. One hundred goats to be exact. Here’s a spicy little taste…

Team "Desi Bytes" has obviously done this before...

Debbie poses with her family, team "Goat's Milk"

Team "Flying Tandoori" (that's a sex position, by the way. don't ask)

Krishna taking a rest before she gets chased again

Siddhartha & Lucianne from team "Benny Lava" upload a mission

Namita teaches a red hot Bollywood number

The flash mob takes over Golden Gate park in full force

Everybody look at me cuz I really want a goat. (really want a goat)

I want a goat. (I want a goat) I want a goat (I want a goat).

Take a good hard look at the motherfucking goat. (yeah).

I want a goat motherfucker take a look at me

Straight livin in the village no ‘lectricity (yea-eah-eah)

Pourin monsoon I aint got no raincoat

You can’t stop me motherfucker cuz I want goat.

Take a picture, trick (trick)

I want a goat, bitch (bitch)

We eatin rice and dal

Cuz we aint rich (rich)

I’m straight missin’ school

Cuz I’m so naught-ay (cuz I’m so naught-ay)

I’m freakin’ hungry, you at Starbucks

Straight sippin’ lattes

I’m pounding out some grain, chopping wood and shit

Carrying pots on my head damn you know I’m fit

But this aint Bollywood, this is real as it gets

I want goat motherfucker don’t you ever forget

I want a goat and

It aint no joke and

I got tribal dance moves

Like Michael Jacksaan (michael jacksaan)

I’m the King of the World

Want a goat for rea-oh

If you got lotsa goats

Get the fuck up, this goat is REAL

Fuck TVs, I want a goat motherfucker (motherfucker)

Fuck cars, I walk barefoot motherfucker (motherfucker)

I play outside no toys, motherfucker

These livestock make noise, motherfucker (motherfucker)

Hey ma, if I get sick again (sick again)

A goat could help me buy med-icine (medicine)

And all those profits when I sell its kin (sell its kin)

Like Slumdog Millz, anything is possible (anything is possible)

Really if I get a goat

It’ll help keep my family afloat

Youuutuuube

Look at me, ohhh

Really hope I see the day

When I send those moneylenders away

Believe me when I say

I fuckin’ deserve it

I want a goat. I want a goat. (ohhhahhhoh)
