Dear Friend,
Greetings from Leyte and in this report, may I thank you for your generous donation that enable us to continue with our most important work of preventing the spread of diseases after Typhoon Haiyan devastated Leyte and Samar. The tasks ahead is still daunting but we are very much capable to face challenges. Our formula of being local, staying in tents and barracks during project implementation in order to bring down cost and offer more services, generating local counterparts, engaging local actors and service providers and promoting our work via social media and news links is indeed very effective. We also welcome visitors who want to see our work techniques and finished products.
This reporting period, we have perfected the making of low-cost septic tanks or sub-structure using ferro-cement which is more stronger than poured concrete since the wire mesh are very close to each other. We have trained 74 local masons who will be able to construct and install the tanks wherever the need is. The toilet sub-structure is so far the most problematic in fabricating low-cost toilets but we have done a good job perfecting it.
Again, thanks so much for your generous donation. Advance Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your family and loved ones.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
