Part 2/10:
When we purchased our land in January 2020, it was entirely abandoned—without basic necessities like water, electricity, roads, and shelter. Little did we know that the world would soon be engulfed by the COVID-19 pandemic, complicating our initial efforts to develop this desert oasis. The first two years were consumed with survival, as we battled both the challenges of the land and the effects of the pandemic. Now, after four years of resilience, we find ourselves emerging from survival mode, finally able to appreciate our lifestyle and foster deeper connections within our community.
