Shalom! I would like to send you my warmest greetings for 1998. May it
be for all of us a year of peace, happiness, health, longevity, and much
success in all our activities. These greetings are also directed at all
the staff of the Afro-Asian Institute, to our very dear Mama Raymonde,
to Zvi Galor, to Yossi Marek and Avraham Hanadari.
I am working with farmers in order to protect and restore our very poor
soil. This is local equipment which you can see the farmers holding in
the photograph. Using this the grower can determine contour lines. This
is practical training in the field. It will enable everyone to make
little anti-erosion dikes on his farm in order to combat the accelerated
degradation of the soil and the high degree of rainwater run-off. This
is the implementation phase. When I get to the phase of compacting the
little dikes I shall send you a photo showing the finished work. There
are two groups: one is a group of women and you can see me with my bag
on my shoulder, facing the group; the other group is one of men, and you
can see me explaining things to them.
I'm involved in rural life in the farming sphere 100 kilometres from the
capital, in the south of the country, in the Region of Nabere, the
village of Sopissi. Shalom! Shalom!
