Future Village “Heart-to-heart” Rebuilding and Fundraising Campaign
Time flies, it has been 4 months since the meta earthquake happened in Nepal, the first stage of emergency relief has been completed, and now the entire country is facing another critical moment – rebuilding villagers home and public facilities (e.g. school, water pipes etc.) . Although villagers can feed themleves by working extremly hard, however the reality is the school collapsed, school children can only have class in rooms with vey limited resources, villagers' temporary shelters made with sync also kept leaking. The recent earthquake created another worse outcome, which the poor living standard of villagers became even worse, and the villagers are now suffering with all kind of uncertainties. Is there a way we can help them out? Yes we can! Supporters can simply donate in terms of cash or manpower in order to provide a longer term support to the villagers. Future Village will commence the rebuild of villagers home and public facilities in Katunge District No. 9 shortly. Highlights of rebuilding plan 1. Two teams of volunteers will go to Future Village on 27 September and 4 October respectively for a 3-weeks clearing service and get ready for the rebuild. Heartfelt thanks to the volunteers and wish them all the best. Professional volunteers with architect background will also have field visit to Future Village in October, in order to have modifications and final testing on the premises design with anti shock capability. 2.
