Imagine an isolated boarding school in a rural mountainous region where half of the students live in the dormitory all year long because they are orphans or their homes are too far from a school. The school must rely on donors to supply food, clothing and educational materials for the children. Located at 14,000 feet elevation and higher, these schools and the children who attend them must live and learn in harsh conditions. ANGEL COVERS has found that providing yaks for these schools offers a range of benefits to the children. While few animals are able to survive in the extreme conditions of this elevation, yaks are uniquely able to live comfortably outside while eating only the sparse grass that grows at high elevations. During the summer months, yaks are shaved and provide hair to be made into clothing for the school children. Yaks provide for the children’s needs including hair for clothing, milk, cheese and butter, and dung to burn for heat. The yaks reproduce, providing the schools with a constant supply of necessary resources. After a yak dies of natural causes, the children have yak meat and leather.
