Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> the Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire).<br />
Letter (e-mail) to William Shurtleff at Soyinfo <strong>Center</strong>, March<br />
23. 1 p.<br />
• Summary: “I will be travelling to the DRC [Congo]<br />
in 3 weeks time to install <strong>and</strong> train a group <strong>of</strong> UMCOR<br />
[United Methodist Committee on Relief] on VitaGoat food<br />
processing equipment. They have attended a previous<br />
workshop <strong>and</strong> has by far proven to be the best <strong>and</strong> most<br />
attentive group ever. I look forward to meeting up with them<br />
again.”<br />
Concerning commercial <strong>soy</strong> products in South Africa:<br />
Soy Mince has been around for at least 30-40 years. Most<br />
<strong>of</strong> the products available contain <strong>soy</strong> protein isolate as<br />
their protein source. Eden Manufacturing has been the<br />
fi rst company in South Africa to use the whole <strong>soy</strong>bean to<br />
manufacture <strong>soy</strong> products (i.e., <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>, yoghurt, t<strong>of</strong>u etc).<br />
Concerning the Humana VitaGoat project in Zimbabwe:<br />
“The constant availability <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>beans at this project is the<br />
core <strong>of</strong> its success. We are looking into the establishment <strong>of</strong><br />
a NGO [non-governmental organization] that will assist with<br />
funding <strong>of</strong> new VitaGoat <strong>and</strong> SoyCow projects incorporating<br />
both equipment, training <strong>and</strong> suffi cient raw material to keep<br />
the project going until such time that they have generated<br />
an income to either plant their own <strong>soy</strong>beans or purchase<br />
proper <strong>soy</strong>beans.” Address: P.O. Box 206, Bergville 3350,<br />

Humberto Jorge Gonzales, <strong>and</strong> women from UPAVIM, one<br />
<strong>of</strong> Plenty’s Central America Food Security (CAFSI) partners.<br />
