Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – Clinton School student Beatrice Biira of Uganda, the famed subject of the bestselling children’s book “Beatrice’s Goat,” appeared on NPR’s “Here on Earth” program last week. CLICK HERE for the interview.
For those unfamiliar with this story, Beatrice’s family received a goat when she was 9-years-old through Heifer International’s livestock giving program. They used the money earned from the sale of goat’s milk to send Beatrice to school. She went on to get her undergraduate degree at Connecticut College and is now attending the Clinton School. She will be speaker at the Clinton School’s 2nd annual Scholarhsip Luncheon this Tuesday.
