  • If the rain falls then things are fine, but
    when the season changes we have problems. This
    year it rained too much and this damaged our
    crops, but in other years there hasnt been

    Nowadays the seasons have shifted by several
    weeks, or up to a month. We dont rely on the
    seasons anymore.
