I met with national-level stakeholders—and I'll be vague about who they were—who did talk about concerns in some cases around the national service program.
People I spoke with in a general sense about that, their concern didn't seem to be about the existence of a national service program per se, but they wanted to have the government respect the 18-month limit on that.
In discussions with local workers and villagers and village elders, the issues were very much around the positive aspects. The workers really appreciate the jobs, the much higher-paying job than what is available in other sectors, as well as the skill formation that they're getting. They appear to be quite proud to be part of something kind of new and modern that maybe represents a bit of an opening of the economy.
The village elders did make specific requests that they would like to have further dialogue with the company, that they appreciated the engagement through the community liaison officers. They said they expect to have this ongoing dialogue about potential negative things, such as dust from trucks on the road, or positive things, such as having further jobs or programs in their communities.
