Main Street

Behind main street, guys build fishing nets.

A close look at the supporting structure

A what I call, mud ball hut. There are mud balls about the size of a nice Idaho potato that are stacked and supported by the wood grid. Sometimes, a stucco like surface is applied on top of the mud balls

A solar array - for charging a battery. This guy provides charging service for all the mobile phones in the village (I was curious, everyone had a mobile phone, but no electricity, so how were they charged?

To my surprise - chargers are available - here is a wiring diagram of a charger

Meanwhile - launching the fishing boat. A small log is placed under the boat and rolled to the water
