Video#6-; The Making Of A Dam



For years O’D has wanted to turn a deep gully in our little forest into a small dam but we have never had the money to do this.

Then one day, Albertino and Amaro Ferreira who own a brick-making factory called Ceramica de Vila Pery told O’D they wanted to buy our small mountain of sawdust.  In exchange for the sawdust, they agreed to put Ceramica’s ancient little Massey Ferguson bulldozer (aged about 40 years old) to work and by the time the rains arrived, the dam was ready.

Our dog, Miss Bandit, enjoyed helping out too!

Oh, by the way, Vila Pery is the old Portuguese name for Chimoio during Colonial days.
