Ammon:
When we were driving, we saw a 4 people on a moto cycle! We drove by the Firestone Rubber Tree Farm. It was a 1.5 hour drive there. Then we got to the new FMF rental house. We had a quick tour, and I saw a gigantic generator. Then we gifted them 3 wata bottles and a filter pump. Then I let the adults talk while I played after dads phone. Then we left and I saw a 5 PERSON MOTO CYCLE (which was 4 people and a baby) then we stopped at the market to get more bottled water, and I convinced mom to give me 55 cents to buy something with. I bought a meat pie, and some bananas. Then we got back to our hotel/apartment.

We drove to FMF’s rental house in the middle of the county, situated closer to farm land. The plan is to create a local farming business to fund in-country FMF operations. We have 3 workers who graduated a couple months ago from agricultural training in Uganda. The 5 month program, Genesis Agroecology Leadership Training, is also how to operate and create sustainable farming methods (not the slash and burn methods). We spent the day with our workers creating the vision and started the business outline. Also negotiations for their monthly salaries.
The drive there and back was on 90% smooth, paved and wide roads! Liberia really is working on rebuilding their infrastructure.
