A
Progress Report on Fundraising and Reconstruction
Fundraising
began in July 2007 and included an insert in The Friend
By March
2008 £12,000 has been raised, which was sent to GUP, Bangladesh
In June
2008 the Executive Director of GUP, S A Wahab, sent his first report, with
photos of the reconstruction work (see photos below).
He
reported that "the work of the construction of Peace Library and
renovation of Peace Centre is going on in full swing. Construction Work of
Peace Library up to roof has been has been completed and repairing work of the
roof of old two storied building has been completed. Roof of the dormatory near
the mess house was replace with earthen tiles and other repairing work is going
on. By this time we have set up an orchid house in Peace Centre. The money that
has sent by you is near to expended. I am very much afraid, due to the price
hike of the construction materials, it is almost double than the estimate of
last year."
In
response a further £1,300 was sent, and the fund will remain open until the end
of September 2008.
Over 80 individuals, organisations and trusts have contributed directly, with many more contributing through their Quaker Meeting
