The Path Is Finally Completed

“life is much easier now” said Mr. Sania…..’THANK YOU’

The Path is finally completed and we were invited by the community for a formal hand-over of the path. It was a beautiful morning. We were greeted by the head of Les Village, Mr. Alus, the Head of Sub-village of Butiyang, Mr. Sania, the path committee, the community at large and the children.

In Mr. Alus’ speech, he reflected the process of the path construction and how it had helped the people to realize that working hand in hand had eventually ‘make the dream come true’ and that the power of sharing between both donors and the community has contributed in the improvement of the community quality of livelihood.

During the open dialog with the community and the children, I saw the difference of the community attitude to when we first entered the village 2 years ago. The community openly discussed on their further planning with confidence. The children were happy that they now can run freely up and down along the path from their sub-village to the main village. “life is much easier now” said Mr. Sania “Thank you or is there any thing that is more than the word thank you?” he added in gratitude…
