We are making good progress in the construction of our medical clinic and laboratory. We hope we will be up and running by March of this year. I am talking about the medical facility in a report on saving the rainforest. The two are completely interrelated. One of the big reasons locals cut down their forest is to raise money, many times for medical emergencies. One of the functions of our medical facility is to have specialist who will come to provide highly specialized checkups for different problems. We will have the equipment and facilities for these kinds of medical visits. The residents can come to us much easier, and at less cost, than go to a capital city. And get better attention. Our rainforest protection is also moving forward well with our work in a government program called Carbon Zero. I will keep you posted as that progresses. Thanks for your support, and remember, I love you Douglas
