Walk of Hope update : Bamboo Furnitures in the Making in Tan-awan

in #charity6 years ago

With @walkofhope's livelihood training, @flabbergast has been intending to stay in Tan-awan and with this has rented a house for a couple of months. This finalises our plans for him to be available for us on weekends, when he comes down to Kabankalan City.

The training for the kids is ongoing and they are now making bamboo furnitures. For now are similar to previous furnitures seen in a demo store but the plan is for Tan-awan to build furnitures that are unique and new innovations. This is for sustainability in making them in Tan-awan and with less competitions from the surrounding cities and municipalities in Negros Occidental.

Materials being used right now are bamboo scraps from a nearby construction site. A couple of days ago, an invite from a restaurant owner in Kabankalan City have a plan to build a bamboo restaurant with furnitures to be ordered from us. To do these,@walkofhope and Mountain Dreamers PH need funds to buy new sets of bamboo.

To start with, a PHP4,000/$80 of my fiat money was sent to @flabbergast-art last weekend to start them over. The steem/sbd prices are not really feasible to exchange any monies. I wasn't given a target date for the furnitures to be delivered but the kids and @flabbergast-art need to start making them.

For the time being, bamboo is the local material we are using. Though there is another local material that this community in Tan-awan and other communities further up the mountains that is being used. Locals use it to make woven bags, mats and other woven products. According to @flabbergast-art, new innovations need to be thought of for sustainability.

Liquid payouts of this post will go to @walkofhope's fund.
