The local community were so moved by the loss of the training centre in Lailenpi that they have come out in force to help clear the land in preparation for rebuilding.
The first wave of villagers supported dismantling of the old buildings and salvaging of key materials during June and July. Timber will be reused for furniture making, while the corrugated sheets were used to erect a temporary kitchen.
With support from appeal funding raised in the UK, local masons were employed in Lailenpi to start the long process of preparing building materials from the local hillside. Heavy machinery was hired in July and August to start terracing the land in lieu of laying foundations once further funding has been raised.
This critical project supports the redevelopment of our training facility post destruction caused by Cyclone Mora. The rebuilding project will see the construction of a cyclone-proof training centre, office and dormitory building which will support our ongoing projects in health, education and food security across western Chin State.
