This farm is in Ethiopia?

buildings made from bamboo and corrugated iron are cheap, fast and leopard safe - then all you need are some solar panels for internet

Mr. Maine, you rise a good question as you come from the region you should know the answer however greed, theft, tribalism and mismanagement are the reason why we haven’t prospered.
