organ to the isolated Ojaki community as a way of persuading its people to

The colonel's team, which will also help to install a clean water supply and
perform medical duties for the Ojaki people, are reliant on local expertise
to build bridges to the impact site, which is five miles wide. The locals
are religious and have asked the visitors to install an organ in their newly
built church.
The organ — a pedal-powered Harmonium donated by St James's church in Milton
Abbas, Dorset — will be flown to La Paz and then transported by lorry 120

(18m) boat ...
