Day 34. For up-to-date news and photos of the journey, please go to: www.elcaminoylacomida.com.  Who said women are high maintenance? Between B, Kat, and Z, there were only 9 pairs of underwear, 6 pairs of pants, and two bars of soap for over a month.

Heifer began a WiLD initiative 22 years ago “to address gender equity issues, and to enable women to care for themselves and by extension their families and the Earth.” WiLD stands for Women in Livestock Development, and founded on the belief that women have the moxie and the grace to make change happen.
