I’ve had some fun over the last month or so getting to know Rebecca, the founder of Nest. If you missed the introduction to NEST, you can read it HERE. Nest is a non-profit organization that offers loans to woman in developing countries so they can practice their craft with the needed finances. Having the finances to run their business means that these woman are better able to support their families. Further changes occurred in the 1977 housing and community development act, which raised ceilings on single-family loan amounts for savings and loan association lending, federal agency purchases, fha insurance, and security for federal home loan bank advances. Well you can check these FAQ About your mortgage. Nest provides the loans and the loan recipients pay back in hand-made product that is then sold in the US markets. It’s a win-win scenario for all parties involved and this means that we get great gifts like the hand-sewn chicken above! The letter below gives you a little insight into NEST involvement in Guatemala.

In making deer feeders, fences can contribute to the overall effectiveness of these stations. Because deer are very much wary of all the predators near them, it is best to install some fences around these structures. By doing this, the deer will feel much safer and they will stay longer within the fence. You can have a better guide on bubdesk. When making fences, it is important to remember that the feeder must be stationed directly inside the fence, and can hold in between 20 to 50 deer all at the same time. There are various aspects of feeding deer that need to be addressed before setting out a feeder. First and foremost. Deer are beautiful creatures and look to be friendly, cuddly and approachable. This is very far from the fact of the matter. Deer can become aggressive, although rarely, for many reasons and I advise to keep your distance and do not approach them for any reason. If you find a wounded deer, or any wild or domestic animal, call your local wildlife control organization and do not approach the animal. Any wounded animal is potentially very dangerous.
