Flying a roof into the jungle.

Agriculture update: the next step of the collaborative livestock (sheep) project at Masakanari village is complete. Using their own funds, the village council was able to purchase six 12 foot sections of corrugated zinc roofing. Cut in half, the metal sheets just fit into the Cessna.

The goal of the village is to establish the first sustainable livestock initiative in the area. Once the pen and sheep shelter is completed by the village (metal is used to deter vampire bats), the next flight should be with a load of live female animals donated by Dadanawa Ranch. The Ministry of Agriculture should be providing the ram's of a different breed.
