24.01.2022 Payatas site visit with Father Paul Owemedimo and Mushin Schilling from Jala.

23.01.2022 Australia's largest splashpark features over AU$2 million worth of artworks descrobing indigenous totems designed by Argo. 2008 flashback to the Argo Whale sculptures and spectacular music and light fountain attraction designed for the Wetside Splashpark in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia. Stainless steel artist, boilermaker and boat builder: Chris Calcutt. Master timber crafstman: Dan Huyghebaert, Gleam Manufacturing. Timber artist: Ross Bradbury, Blunt Chisel.... Wetside, a magnificent gift from the Wide Bay Water Corporation and Fraser Coast Regional Council to the people of Queensland.

Thank you Tessie Gonzalez (2nd from left) for your high level introduction to the Mayor. Thank you Councillor Juico (right of Mayor) for your local support. Commitments of support from the city were gained for the Sinagtala and Payatas initiatives spearheaded by the Argo and He Cares teams. Low cost housing initiatives exploring cryptocurrency housing loans on a holochain phone app. called Jala, launching in September. Ethical, low cost loans and dignified, quality housing for those in extreme need.

02.01.2022 This is why we do poverty alleviation. No lights, no sewerage, no electricity, up to 5 people living in 16 square metres of wet, rodent and spider infested squaller. But, and it is a huge "but", they have dignity and it seems that the fewer physical possessions they own, the stronger their moral fibre, community spirit and love for life. Just look at the last photo for proof.

A land title strategy in partnership with the Mayor of Quezon City, the He Cares Mission, three churches and Argo. 2. To gather data in regards to usery micro-loans sold to the unwitting poor with interest rates anywhere between 24% and 108% per year compounding with a view to having the loans replaced with Jala micro-loans at 5% to 6% per year, not compounding. 3. To establish community sub-groups for the purpose of aggregating social capital to leverage interest from impact investors using crypto-currency to invest in low cost housing schemes on holochain. Simple interest of 5% to 6% per year without deposits or physical security requirements.
