Villagers Living In Karabti San, Djibouti, Continued Construction Of A 21 Foot Tall Eco-Dome, A Durable, Low-Cost Shelter Requiring Very Little Maintenance. The Villagers Are Building The Dome To Improve Their Community. Hamdou Mohamed, Karabti San Local And Construction Foreman: “Most People Are Interested In This Dome. Most Of The People Mention That This Place--This Facility--Will Be Used As A Community Clinic Or Community School.” Ssgt Marc Lane Reporting: Soldiers With The 4-90th Civil Affairs Battalion, Assigned To Combined Joint Task Force – Horn Of Africa, Joined The Villagers And Assisted With The Construction By Sharing Various Building Techniques, As Well As Helping With The Work Load. U.S. Army Captain Justin Lev, 4902 Civil Affairs Team Chief: “The Mission Is Really To Bring The Community Together, Give Them A Sense Of Ownership In This Area. It’s Been A Great Opportunity To Work Side-By-Side With The Villagers. Just Things As Simple As Shoveling Dirt Into The L-M-T-V Breaks Through So Many Cultural Barriers. I Don’t Know Their Language--I Know A Few Words But We’ve Developed Friendships. We’ve Broken Through A Language Barrier Just By Working Side-By-Side With Each Other.” Ssgt Marc Lane Reporting: The Materials Needed To Build The Eco-Dome Were Donated By Non-Government Organizations.
