From the Logbook...Electricity for Marikoi

A while back I flew an airplane full of cargo to an interior village called Tumbang Marikoi.  One of the items stuffed among all of the other boxes was a new generator.

Something as simple as a gas powered generator can literally be a life changer to some of the communities we serve that don't have any other source of electrical power.

Flying the generator was easy.  Hauling it 20 feet up the river bank was the hard part.  Thankfully, like always, there were some helpful hands awaiting me at the dock.

The generator was immediately taken to its spot and put to use, powering various facilities for two German nurses that have served in Marikoi for over 30 years.
