Well the new seaon has started out at Moso. The project has actually started a month early this year with the first group of volunteers helping out with a lot of the project set-up this year. So during the next month the volunteers will be helping to clear the path over to the beach, mark out the sectors on the beach and get a garden started to grow food for the volunteer project.The community hasn't been sitting idly by though during their time off from the project. Even with quite a few community members having spent the last few months picking fruit in New Zealand there are lots of changes to what many of you have considered a home away from home.
I think the improvements to the bungalows are nearly finished now. Some of you may remember back when they were an open dormitory style with sand floors. Now both bungalows are split into two 2-bed rooms. And the floors are now cement which helps keep things cool and clean.
The pit toilet and little shower hut of the first season have been totally replaced. There is now a proper bucket flush toilet and spacious 2 room shower hut.
And new this year is the dining room/kitchen/office. The last of the additions this building was only just completed. This should provide lots of room for the volunteers when they get village bound on rainy days. And it might even be big enough to host the farewell night party.
