To our surprise, November has been an extremely busy month, with most of our rooms full and most of our little detail enhancements have been running smoothly, with the bungalows finished on the eleventh.
As we head for high season, a couple of new things are in the works, first of the expansion of the kitchen, a couple of new grass areas and the design of the new chill out space on top of the sugar cubes.
Right now we also have the pleasure of having a visit from our friends at Scapula, working together to expand our common line of clothes which will be produced at a local tailor at first, and then, if things go as planned, we will be setting up our on (not so sweaty) shop on our own land, expanding the network of businesses that we work with. The clothes will be available at our guesthouse, but more importantly from Karin’s own hands in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Another little project is lead by one of our western staffs, Sara, who has set up a little educational english class, to get the non english speaking staff to practice, and have fun doing it. We hope to expand this project after evaluation, hopefully starting it on a larger scale in January or so.
We also feel that the time for expansion has come, and we are currently negotiating with the owners of the land behind us for a new project, this one too with a new partner in the network, and once it comes through, we will proudly announce it together.
In the upcoming months there are a lot of very cool things that we will be focusing on, from the projects above to extracting burnable gas from sewage, to setting up a clinic.
We look forward to meeting all our creative friends again this season!
