Incredible, Angola becoming Portugal’s largest export market outside of Europe, accounting for 7 percent of Portuguese exports last year. Does anyone have a different take on this? How are these exports disseminated within Angola's economy?

In gearing up for the October 1 launch of a new Tribewanted cross-cultural eco-community, I found myself once again at John Obey beach, this time in the rainy season. It's only early July, but the rain is already coming down hard, every day, most of the day. It is difficult to work or travel, as most roads leading out of Freetown are blocked by gushing waters. It was impossible to sleep in a tent at John Obey, but thankfully I was hosted at the nearby community of River Number 2 by our local Tribe managers, Daniel Macauley and James Kanu.
