Farmers Project back in the interior

We have had a project to help a farmers organization to improve their farms which in turn will help them to become self reliant by earning a better income.
The following pictures are:
We got in a speed boat to go upriver to a farm and his house and family.
The farmer and his family, not the family pet ( parrot)
A farmers house.
Close up of the family pet
Handing over ceremony to the farmers association. we donated brush cutters, chain saws, shredder and tillers so they can clear the jungle growth to cultivate the land. They charge each one who uses the equipment a small fee to help maintain the equipment. This reminded me of FFA days.
Farmer and his son taking us to his farm where they are homesteading.
Another Farmers daughter... Harvesting Bananas in the Hinderland!!! She is good with that cutlass.
