Getting to Know Nu Poe

Traveled back a second day to have a closer look at the hydroelectric generator. Here's a video of the jungle trek.


In the nearby camp of 16,000 refugees, we were very impressed with how much they have done with so little. Here's a peek at camp life.


They've created streets with a rudimentary, but solid drainage system, grown crops, raised pigs & chickens, and have even erected schools and playground equipment!


The secondary school & jr. college principal stated they have just begun vocational programs in blacksmithing, baking, accounting, & tailoring.


I admit, I was more impressed with their fire extinguishing system!


Even more incredible was the sight of this unsupervised toddler's toy- a machete!
