rent views on this situation. Some of the Molika-liko residents are looking forward to the move, while some of them are not anticipating the move as much, but there is nothing that they can do about it. It is important to listen to these people to understand their feeling and what they are going through. These transcripts were collected to help give the people a voice and also to help put in words their experiences and what the people constructing the dam are doing for them.
             "The personal story of a community resettled was recounted. Life before the project was uncomplicated and peaceful. It was an agricultural lifestyle planting maize, wheat and other cash crops and raising livestock. When the project arose, Lesotho Highlands Water Project, they were told that resettlement was compulsory and the lives of the locals would be improved. The relationship of the resettles and the host communities was a major concern and most of them did not feel that their lives were going to be better off. They felt that their future was uncertain as there was no training on self-reliance and income generation activities."# The people were not given what was at first promised to them by the people constructing the dam, and it was because of this that people were having mixed views on the dam. The people were not asked if they wanted to move, but instead were forced out of their homes and their communities. The Transformation Resource Center and the Lesotho Highlands Church Action group collected the transcripts between November 1997 and February 1998. These transcripts were being used academically by the National University of Lesotho.# In the transcripts for resettlement and emigration in Lesotho, the people primarily talked about how the themes, such as separation from family, fear of moving, and loss of tradition and identity, and how they all tie together. There is a relationship between all of these people and the themes.
