NAME:
Zé de Jorge and the goats of salvation
The numbers help to understand the reason for such zeal: 40 liters of milk are sold daily to Apaeb, totaling R$ 990 per month. Like most people from Vale, Zé de Jorge sought out the association when the drought ended his crop and made him travel 300 kilometers in search of work. Never. In its plantation, today, the remains of sisal are spread like a soil protection blanket or are kept to feed the animals in the drought. All Apaeb's invention. “I've been fighting since I was 13 years old, but it was only with knowledge that I discovered that by taking care of it, no one goes thirsty and no animal dies of hunger,” he says.
