A home at last - "Gedeg" distribution day No 1
We are now using the funds to purchase as much "gedeg" as we can find. This means that many residents are finally able to move out of their tents or temporary shacks into simple but sturdy traditional homes with gedeg walls.
As I have reported previously, people living along the main road leading into the village got the first delivery of gedeg so that they can link up to the electricity grid and donate a small amount of their electricity to illuminate the road. In the evenings, away from the city lights, the village roads are almost pitch black – the gentle stream of light from the "gedeg" walls make the streets feel homely and safe.
Here are photos of the new homes with the "gedeg" walls and the makeshift homes they replaced.
The people of Bicak and Ngunut thanks you for all your help in making these simple homes a reality!
