Japanese GV Team 1 – 10Sep, 2014 - Kavre, Nepal

                    The first month of autumn-September gathered twelve members from Japan in Panauti, Kavre with the purpose of erecting a decent shelter for Bijaya Sainju. This Japanese team cooperated with HFH Nepal’s partner organization Udhyam Bikas and successfully built a mud, bricks house for Sainju family.

 Over ten days, team constructed a four room house made up of burnt, unburnt bricks and mud. The foundation of a house was done by bricks. During the build, the volunteers assisted in mixing the mud and water, carrying mortar, plastering the walls, cutting the bamboos, flooring and landscaping. Besides constructional work the volunteers had an excellent interaction with the local people and home partner family. They were seen enjoying the friendly companies of children during their spare time.
