Dang Fires
In 2016 there were devastating fires in a village in Dang. Many houses were destroyed but with no insurance and limited help from outside, families were left to rebuild themselves. Partnering with the local church CHEN was able to provide funds for steel trusses to support and sheet metal to make lovely new blue roofs.
