![]() The co-op ambassadors donated hot plates for the villagers’ homes to give them an alternative to breathing in smoke from the wood-burning fires they had been using to cook. And all the villagers were telling me how grateful they were for all the work the linemen were doing.”īoth Ted and Malia said they were moved when the lineworkers turned on the lights in the village for the first time. I think they were super curious about our lives. “They were asking if we were going to go on a plane. ![]() She also had a chance to chat with the mayor of the neighboring city of Jalapa. Malia, who learned Spanish in school, spent a lot of time talking with the kids and their parents. “They’re probably still there shooting hoops.” “Some of these kids had never played basketball but, oh my gosh, they all just lined up to try,” Ted Case said. The Cases arrived in Guatemala during the final stretch of the three-week electrification project to help perform some extra community service work, including painting the local school in the blue and white colors of the Guatemalan flag and installing donated basketball hoops and a swing set on the playground. ![]() (Photo Courtesy: Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association) Ted Case and his daughter, Malia, paint a school in Guatemala as part of a volunteer project with NRECA International. If there’s any opportunity to do this again with NRECA International or anyone else, I will definitely take it.” “It really helped to be able to use my Spanish in ways that helped other people. “It really just reinforces how much we have here in America,” said Malia, who is fluent in Spanish and served as a translator for the team on their March trip, which was organized by Senior Program Manager Ingrid Hunsicker of NRECA International. The pair were part of a team of Oregon electric co-op lineworkers and goodwill ambassadors who brought electricity to the small village of Ventura-a “forgotten valley” of subsistence farmers and their families living in about 40 homes with dirt floors in the shadow of a volcano.

It'd sure be nice if there was some way to trade ownership of a material for money.Ted Case, executive director of the Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association, makes a speech at a ceremony where the lights are turned on in a small Guatemalan village for the first time after it was electrified by volunteer Oregon lineworkers as part of a project with NRECA International. We're essentially forced to figure out how much these goods are worth and transfer money around to each other. Whoever sells that bread, the money goes to my brother. The bread at the end still belongs to my brother. The bakery processes that flour into bread, at a processing cost to my friend. If someone takes that flour over to the bakery, which is owned by my friend, and deposits it, no money changes hands once more. If I was to grab the flour at that point, take it to a sell point, and sell it, the money goes to my brother and I get nothing, despite paying the fee to process the wheat into flour! If my brother takes that flour and sells it, he gets the money. That process costs me money as the owner of the grain mill. Grain mill then processes the wheat into flour. Even if my brother brings it, no money is provided to my brother when he dumps the wheat into the grain mill. The wheat is transported to my grain mill (either by my brother, or by me, it doesn't seem to make any difference). In my above example it works like so:īrother grows wheat, and harvests it. We've been able to take goods from each other using contractor access, but it doesn't play nicely, as the resulting end products seem to belong to the person who the initial items belonged to at the start of the production chain. Is there a way for me to buy wheat from my brother, and sell flour to my friend? Let's say, purely for example sake, that I own the Grain mill, my brother is making wheat, and my friend owns the Bakery. Is there any way in a multiplayer game (FS22 with dedicated server) to transfer materials to another player? We have separate farms set up, and each of us is working on different crops.
