Had
a wonderful work morning today when we started clearing all the trees
around the volunteer accommodation prior to starting building some
more volunteer cabins. We had someone come with a chain saw and we
took down a lot of trees that were leaning over and making quite a
mess in the area. One of the volunteers was really unhappy about
doing it, but as I said, it allows the trees that we have left to
grow properly. I also had the sense of making space so the land
could breathe.
The
picture doesn't really give much of a sense of space unless you knew
what was there before – so much undergrowth that it was impossible
to walk along behind the houses. It has transformed the area even
although there is quite a lot of clearing up still to do. With all
of this and Pierre's roof at last looking as if it might be finished
some time soon and the construction of steps and a seat in Jalabhoomi
there was a feeling of transformation all over the place.
