00:05.540 --> 00:07.762
villagers living in karate son Djibouti

00:07.762 --> 00:09.818
continue construction of an eco dome

00:09.818 --> 00:12.040
with the help of the 4/90 Civil Affairs

00:12.040 --> 00:14.096
Battalion assigned to Combined Joint

00:14.096 --> 00:16.318
Task Force Horn of Africa . An Eco dome

00:16.318 --> 00:18.373
is a durable form of housing , which

00:18.373 --> 00:20.429
requires little maintenance . Well ,

00:20.429 --> 00:22.540
the idea is to build something that ,

00:22.540 --> 00:24.873
that the community can build themselves .

00:24.873 --> 00:26.929
So it's tough to find materials that

00:26.929 --> 00:29.096
that you can build a durable structure

00:29.096 --> 00:31.318
out of . But the great thing about this

00:31.318 --> 00:33.429
construction is that it's , it's made

00:33.429 --> 00:35.540
you know , with 90% dirt . And so the

00:35.540 --> 00:37.651
other materials are cement and barbed

00:37.651 --> 00:39.873
wire , which are more readily available

00:39.873 --> 00:41.984
in this part of the uh , in this part

00:41.984 --> 00:43.762
of the world . The construction

00:43.762 --> 00:45.929
materials needed to build the eco dome

00:45.929 --> 00:45.530
were donated by non government

00:45.530 --> 00:47.670
organizations . The village is

00:47.670 --> 00:49.837
supplying most of the manpower and the

00:49.837 --> 00:52.003
civil Affairs teams providing guidance

00:52.003 --> 00:55.690
assistance and partnership . What if we

00:55.690 --> 00:57.801
use it as a school or clinic ? Either

00:57.801 --> 01:00.840
one will be perfect for us . Once

01:00.840 --> 01:03.062
completed this eco dome will serve as a

01:03.062 --> 01:05.173
model for future domes throughout the

01:05.173 --> 01:07.229
Horn of Africa . I personally didn't

01:07.229 --> 01:09.229
have any idea how how difficult the

01:09.229 --> 01:12.400
task would end up being , but I

01:12.400 --> 01:14.122
wouldn't trade it for anything

01:14.240 --> 01:16.184
reporting from Combined Joint Task

01:16.184 --> 01:18.018
Force Horn of Africa . I'm Petty
