After clearing the road to the site the near problem facing ATprojects was how to cross a small creek. While the creek itself is only about 1.5m wide, the span from bank to bank is more that 10 metres.

While designing and working on a bridge, we needed to start moving materials across creek and by using two appropriate placed trees we made a "flying fox". While transporting materials was slow, it was a lot easier that carrying the materials by hand. The "flying fox" was only used for heavy items like cement bag for the fencing.

As the "flying fox" was being used, work started on the design of a "all" local materials bridge. Timber was collected from a near by forest and transported to the ATprojects workshop in Goroka. Here the timber was cut and prepared following the design developed at ATprojects.

During July ATprojects staff use the centre site to construct the first "ATloo", that was design to be built at rural schools in the Daulo District. The project was a great success and the loo is now ready for transfer to the District

While all this work was taking place, ATprojects also employed a number of local villagers from around the site to help start the process of clearing the land ready for construction work.
