Here is Tanis Jolicoeur, our agriculture guy, with a truckbed full of fruit tree plantings. There's some chadeque (grapefruit), orange and lime in this bunch. More to come as we move towards sustainability. We have started to plant them near the housing so that they will serve double duty: as shade and as a source for vitamins. Posted by Picasa

Apprentice photographer

The following five photos were taken by Johnny Fontange. Johnny is one of our junior staff who is very interested in computers, web design... We gave him a small, cheap digital camera and this is the result. As we say here -- pa pi mal!! That translates into -- not too bad !! Keep it up, Johnny.

This little blue house was once our kitchen at Castel-Pere, then it was a storage depot and now it's our store. We sell all manner of cold drinks, bread, cheese, canned milk and we make fresh sandwiches for our workers and staff. It's a chance for the boys to learn some business skills on a small scale. Posted by Picasa
