10:40 pm

10:45 pm
shoreline it's going to be disappearing into my class last semester in the fall we went out there and we measured how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year. we lost about 35 feet i was close you were close 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is 35 feet closer to town then left and it was the year before so you guys think that the rivers going yes. is one thing to say the river is going to move you but this prompted a whole whole bunch of things this village is completely divided and there's just
10:46 pm
no way around you know to travel councils families don't talk to each other just all kinds of issues that have popped up. prompted by this river here moving in. routing their communities. these know groups or from outside. from the community they are not urgently from. troubled ministers actually 1st cousin tom and 1st
10:47 pm

10:48 pm
it was coming up. and some of the smarter words began following the money and realizing some of the money's not accounted for while they actually suspended the elections. well once they suspended the elections though there was a there was a feeling that the community was being left out of the process yeah they were scheduled to leave in 2012. but through the division and then the infighting and some of the you know bureaucratic issues there stalled as it stands now the federal government cannot. contract with either group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of the. 88.
10:49 pm
it's a shock when it comes down to some 3rd world sack it's basically. a last resort for people who want to live in really tough. going from. is created a lot of problems health what is the no we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure through small towns you know this interior and everything else just kind of was rampant through the villages at certain times or not you want to pull. everybody. talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. the frustration levels fairly high. sometimes you wonder if they're doing this on purpose. i mean really when you come
10:50 pm
down to it this could be a foreign totally foreign country ignored by any infrastructure all live in the united states never just. and this is all there's no running water wars over so. it's a chronic. bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers come on 12 years and they leave they don't never study. i guess is just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008. year career since. those move in the village then. everybody roots mill you couldn't much see the water from my house to then. could
