My Chickens
When the Enactus team at the Academy of Public Administration realized there was a strong desire in rural areas to start family poultry farms but a lack of resources to do so, they saw an opportunity to act. Starting with the research phase, the team met with a number of families to learn more about their situations and learned that not only was farming a dream for many of them, there was also a strong demand in those areas for affordable, organic poultry. After meeting with a number of expert organizations and government agencies, the team had the innovative idea of converting old refrigerators into egg incubators, which they could sell the families at a significantly less cost than industrial versions. In addition to supplying this important tool, they helped the families launch their farms and provided ongoing consulting services to increase their success. To date, 45 new businesses have been launched and 85 new jobs created.

With two years left, he is committed to staying involved and is excited to experience the World Cup in Toronto. So excited, in fact, that he has set himself a goal of becoming a world champion.
