The future Malaika children’s village mapped
| A map showing every tree and all the cassava fields and all the contours of the area. An impossible dream? Not any more! Thanks to the boundless energy of two enthusiastic employees from the spatial planning department of The Hague Council - Raymond Felisie and Errol Brice - the area has been mapped out in detail. Swissair provided the tickets and enabled them to take necessary, up to date equipment. Well done, Swissair! Mapping the area is an important step for us, because the location of the buildings within the children’s village can now be very precisely planned. |

| The local people were very interested in the work of the surveyors and the equipment brought with them. As well as explaining everything, they involved the locals in everything they did. For a while it looked as if the whole expedition had been for nothing. Due to the many bushes and trees, it seemed an impossible task, in the short time available, to map out the whole area. The locals would be able to make many viewing paths, but that would have cost too much time Brainstorming resulted in a new idea: measuring from above! Interbeton provided a platform including the scaffolding free of charge. The locals helped build the scaffolding.. The measuring equipment was placed on the platform, after which the land was mapped out efficiently, in detail within two weeks. |
