On operations:
We deployed to the minefield on 19th "Sunday" and arrived at Cuamba "Mussala" next morning because we had troubles with a truck during the trip, was a very hard trip. We are working at Mussala's village an area of approximately 40.052m2 near Cuamba district according to our plans and average of square metres a day we presume to Finnish our task at end of Year but also depends on rain season, since we started here we had always a metal problems (high soil contamination) now we're going to work on team of one section, this ground after clearance will benefit the populations and they can make farms and use the church for praying and more benefits.
