If you recall, there was a line from the movie "The Man from Snowy River" that went something like this...
"I think you'd sooner hold back the tide than tame the mountains".
Keep that in mind as I try to describe our JustServe experience.
Behind Kuhuku High School is the agricultural department where the students learn to grow crops and irrigate. The crop you see is bush beans. They look great. See the trees and piles of dead branches around the perimeter? They want them gone and or pushed back. The 'Just Serve' official spotted Elder Cameron and said "you're in charge".
So, this is Elder Cameron leading the charge!
I really did try not to laugh. This is a tropical island. Would the tide be easier to hold back than trying to tame the jungle? The jungle ensnares everything in its path!
(Getting wood was never this obnoxious).
We sharpened tools.
We sawed trees. I heard something about needing chainsaws.
I think the pile is getting smaller. That is Seta on the right. I love how her hair is piled on her head.
The ground is appearing.
Yes, that is a machete. I think she looks a little crazed. Perhaps she's tired of breaking limbs by hand!

I have some amazing equipment that could help that process. Just need a job transfer my wife says.
