  • After much persistence I was able to find and visit this farm in E. Congo. I was also able to meet Alexander and found him to be very gracious and helpful. The work being done there is quite impressive.

  • Very difficult to contact these folks. Tried numerous emails and phone calls. proceed with caution

  • Is that community in an infinite surplus on all human needs?

    Food,water,housing,toilet.

    Whit these needs met one dose not need the monetary system.
