Welcome to our blog, where you can really get behind the scenes at Send a Cow.
From visits to our projects, to life in our busy fundraising department, and from schoolchildren meeting African farmers, to a volunteer’s perspective; whatever’s going on, we’ll keep you in on it!
Flicks and tips
As you can see from the video above, we can now add 'flicks' to our website! We're all quite excited about the prospect of being able to show our work in action as the impact of our work in Africa really comes alive. We also have a series of instructional videos planned like the one above for use by anyone online.

You can lead a cow to water...
We had a fantastic time at the Dragon Boat Festival at Bristol City Docks!
