With only 45 out of 109 boreholes working in Elim and the surrounding villages, residents almost never have access to clean drinking water.

Fewer than half of Elim’s boreholes work and municipal water tankers are a rare sight
Private water sellers are filling the gap, but the municipality says they are acting against the law

I'd like to start a vegan, antinatalist eco village (but without esoteric vibes!) with a sanctuary for all kinds of animals, where there is a nostalgic café con library, as well as a few yurts to rent out, a little indie perfume shop and a manufactory, where we create the perfect plant-based cheese.

Where have the geckos gone? Haven't seen any sign of them for a few weeks.
I have ventilated bricks for hidey-holes, and plants on my balcony. Also a flower pot with fruit & veg peels to attract little fruit flies, and just the same - no little gecko poops on the walls.

One of the largest and oldest oaks in England.
It looks as though it has two separate trunks. However this massive tree is hollow, thus creating this illusion.
