There is no mobile phone reception, however the store has a land line connection and satellite Internet.
Our store is the social hub of the community, almost everyone goes there at least once a day. So apart from providing food security it is a place where the community gather and meets for a chat and kids play. This is very important and we want the store and the area around the store to be a nice community area.
