At the moment Kuthumba is a hive of activity as services are laid, the dam is being built, trenches for water and electrical services are dug, the roads pushed and graveled, and houses are being built. All houses will be built of natural materials. Bruce and Helen Varney, our first buyers, are well on their way with the building of their wattle and daub house. Alec Brown has moved onto the property and is preparing to build his log cabin. Elzunia von Maltitz is now living in the area, waiting to build.
New homeowners are all in different stages of preparation to relocate.
There has been a general acceleration in activity, and we have only five more plots to sell. Ron and Avice Hindmarch heading up our permaculture farming program which will begin later this year. Other major tasks include finding the people to develop our Healing Centre, and establishing the Skills Training Centre. We look forward to connecting with other eco-villages, now that the groundwork has at last been done and we have the right 'bits' of technology.
