Bigpela bung in Miwa
Following concerns about the purpose of the GFRS and the number of foreigners arriving in the Lake, a big meeting is held after church. It's the biggest village meeting we've seen in Miwa and local court proceedings (a young man was being tried for practicing black magic) are suspended to give us time to speak and answer questions. The meeting goes very well. We explain that the GFRS is there to expand the community forestry work, in particular with Begwa.

International volunteers join the boundary marking
Klaas and Florian join the boundary marking team to complete the marking and inventory of the Barramundi clan forest management area. Once that's complete, the team will move on to the second Barramundi clan area. Using the GPS the management area boundary line will be cut, marked and recorded, and then a 1% inventory of all the trees surveyed and recorded.
