I have to add something that now amuses me and is actually quite funny (NOT).
If there is someone here that knows the work in Nicaragua, you will remember that at one time they started working and building not one Branch Project but TWO - simultaneously! The backstory is sordid and was one of my first "shocks" about the Organization! I will not hijack the thread (and can tell this story in a separate thread), but it pertains to this topic because the mindset is the same.
Step 1: Buy land or get donated land
Step 2: Big fights and discussions lead the Borg to believe that Land from step 1 is not good, so they start another project at another place.
Step 3: have everybody donate towards BOTH projects.
Step 4: Sell off Project 1 (with buildings, reception, rooms, setups like parking lots, etc.) to rich foreign corporation. Put money in pocket.
Step 5: Continue with project 2 (start all over again > donations, free work, etc.)
Step 6: Sell again. Cash in. Be happy.
Project 1 was Branch project in Diriamba and Project 2 was Branch project in Ticuantepe.
There you have it. Easy, isn't it? Nothing new for "old mother".
