Out at the RTC it is as busy as ever, with patients calling in from the surrounding villages to receive treatment. Due to a recent termite infestation, SEDA is supporting the construction of a new patients building for the RTC. The construction of the building is around 85% complete. The doors are finished but the painting, gutters and floor tiles still need a little work. We are also waiting on an order of beds for the patients. Once this construction is complete we are hoping to get the water treatment installed as soon as we can. We are looking for more funding to successfully install the water treatment facility, so we urge donors to continue their support in order for us to meet our deadline by the end of this year. The seasons are changing and soon it will be monsoon season which will last until late October, so there may be some delays with construction and the roads leading to the RTC may become too muddy to drive on. The electricity in the RTC is around 95% complete, after creating a new electricity supply from the main road 4km away. We were anticipating these projects to be completed in March, but due to some delays caused by problems with local builders, having to hire a new local contractor and waiting for parts to be shipped from Thailand, we estimate that the redevelopment project will be complete by the end of the year. Funds for these projects are coming from the generous donations of private donors, patient funding, microfinance programs and the RTC budget.
