slash and burn
On the way there, many of the images were disturbing. A haze covered the skies as a huge number of hillsides was being cleared for planting. The government tries to control this, but isn't entirely effective.

Once in the village, we met our new friends and began working on the building which local carpenters had partially erected before our visit.
