| The metal walls of the truck's cargo area fold down to become 1) ramps for loading/unloading cacao and 2) supported platforms to effectively triple the hub's usable space. This is important because the hub will often be used for presentations to large groups of community members. For shading and rain protection, two impermeable bamboo structures slide out from inside the roof to cover the newly created spaces. A steel box inside the truck serves as both 1) secure storage space for equipment and folding furniture and 2) seating when computers are being used. Local metalworkers in Tena are capable of building such a structure. |
