What a job! Removing the silt from a dam so the dam has better water-holding capacity, by hand!
This community group is participating in a work for food scheme, where the whole community works on this project and gets 'paid' in food rations. It is another group affected by floods and the UN is trying to improve their livelihoods.
There was much talk about the project, how it could be improved etc, it was fascinating to watch. It was a Saturday, and so many of the community were at a funeral, so I can only imagine what it is like when the full community is present.
Tough work in the hot sun, even for me just standing there taking photographs!
