Model village Project in Sariri PNG. This is a RAWCS Project.
The Geelong Rotary Club have been involved for two plus years. The main aim is to build one of 100 houses using mostly local materials and to teach the people how to use and especially maintain the equipment. The houses are built on ordinary sized blocks and the remaining land is used to grow produce for local consumption and sale. Further equipment is to be sent in May including a Ferguson tractor and farming implements. Hopefully these will arrive before the next team goes up and not three weeks after the team leaves as happened last time. A shed is needed to house these items. The next team will go in May and a builder and plumber are needed. There is a need for $8,000 to fund the project further, this includes the cost of the container which is filled with goods collected through Donations in Kind
