Tin Roofing & Truck in the River

We hauled up twenty sheets of tin in the truck at the end of April for a storage shed. The thatched roof of the original building had rotted through and termites had eaten the beams. The head of the farmer's group asked if we could help provide tin and nails for a new shed they wanted to build. Here are the farmers carrying the tin about half a kilometer in to the location for the new shed. They will cut the timber for the beams and walls themselves.

As we were heading out of the village, we saw that a 4x4 from the community health office was stuck in the river. We tried for two hours to get them out, first with the truck and later a winch, but when we left about six o'clock pm, they we're still in the river, although making some prgress. We left our cable and wench with them and asked them to give it to the chief when they got out.




Hope they eventually made it!
