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 />

Everyone got to sample <strong>and</strong> enjoy high protein foods such as<br />
