Visit

Jos and I recently visited the head of the farmers group in his house over the rice fields. Here is a short video clip from our visit:



He said the group plans to repair the dam following the harvest with the materials left over from its initial construction.


He inquired if CAMA/TALI would be able to help with building materials to build cement irrigation ditches from the dam to the fields. They also would like to plant two or even three crops a year, but need a hand tractor or water buffalo to till the land.

What has given me the most joy in working with this group to date is this:


It's hard to read, but this is a picture of the name of the group and the date construction began written in the cement next to the spill way. No mention of CAMA or TALI, no NGO project signs, just the name of the farmers group.
