After Masud and his family left (see the previous post), the demonstration farm project was re-evaluated. And it was clear that we were not going to learn a lot more with the farm, so it was not worth the effort and expense required to keep it going. So yesterday a team of carpenters came to take it down -- the same team that had put it up only 2 1/2 years ago.
By evening there was only a few concrete pillars standing among the scattered rubble. A sad sight. I know the project was more effort to maintain than it was worth, and the buildings were hastily built, nothing pretty. But the farm had slowly become home to Masud and his family, and slowly become a part of our lives.
