23.08.2010 (13th Ramadhan 1431)
Al-hamdulillah, we have some progress and a long dream of ours became finally reality! The horseback-archery is set up, after four years in the planning! All praises to Allah and then thanks first of all to my father, who supported me all these years. Without him it would not have been possible! Further thanks also to my brother in the US; our friend Adnan in Singapore, who supported the project when it was still at the beginning and located on West-Sumatra; brother Abdul Majied in Germany (steppenreiter.de) for his advice; brother Jeizan from Kenya, who send us three bows; brother Mohammed Hosein, who brought a special tool for making wood arrows and of course to all diligent workers here in Biniha Timur.
We are laying the foundation of the second house, the one of Mohammed Hosein and Arifa. Expected building time will be around six months.
Some updated photos and a reminder below:
Building a fish pool
The River Hut
Pasture
Horse & goat stable
Goat bridge
The plots already sold and just cleaned out,
waiting for their owners to take action ;-)!
Chocolate trees
Our bananas, now protected against goats and horse
Then we would like to remind everybody that it takes in the average a year for a banana tree to give fruits, of course depending on the location. It nearly takes the same amount of time for manioc to grow. Besides the coconuts and fishing, these are the main sources of nutrition in an emergency.
We would like everybody participating in this project latest in the middle of the year 2012 having enough provision to survive in the case of a global crisis. Only Allah knows what the future will bring, but just keep it mind!
From beginning of 1432, if anybody wants to commission me with building a house, he also has to allocate at least 1000 Euro for agriculture (building fences, starting planting bananas, manioc and others).
