The need:
A women in Puerto Cisnes had 2 kids, when the oldest was 14 she informed her husband she had fooled him and the eldest wasn't really his. He went out into the woods and hanged himself. 6 months later she was married to another guy and had another kid. The first 2 were apparently living in deplorable conditions so the community decided to give the 2 teens (17 & 15) their own house.
The challenge:
The city built a small house for them. The problem is that it's on the other side of the bay. Looks like over a mile across. The house needs to be moved from it's current location, across the bay, and through town to get to it's site.
The solution: A Minga.
How it's done:
Get a few boats, tie the house to them and float it across the bay.
Then, get a couple strong ropes.
Add a few willing helpers,
Then pull like crazy!
Yes, we helped pull :-]
