The author's recent trip on tap road, an isolated road that links Mendi's last Karints and Kandep's Kambiya and Kolopa in Mariant Constituency

A typical morning in the early hours in Last Karints

Only form of service delivery in thsi area is local cattle farming that has just begun. Donations was given by Mendi MP recently.

Morning of last karints slowly clearing out as the hours ticked by.

Entrance to a bush material local church at last karints,

This is last karints elementary school established in 2008, already into it's third year of schooling. In the front is the lone teacher that looks after the school.

Section of the road once passable by vehicles has been havily destroyed by water erosion

typical setting of a village sweet potatoe garden, the main source of staple food in last karints

Notice how narrow the once all clear road has become over the years due to no service delivery. This is not a bush track but the main road.

Fresh water streams like this one is in abundance along the road while taking a road trip

This is an elementary school, namely sokom elementray on the Kandep side of the boarder.
