Peace road for happier community.

A good road is the fundamental necessity for communication, transportation and developmental activities in the community. My community was connected with a 12 kilometers motor road several years ago and due to heavy rainfall and landslide during summer season the condition of the road worsened. We must not always depend on government for any kind of assistance. Our government has already given us a motor road so to repair and maintain the road I organized a road maintenance project.
The project was implemented in Gomdar gewog under Samdrupjongkhar district. We called for volunteers to undertake the project and borrowed tools from nearby school and community. During the implementation of the project, we received support in cash and kind from the community people.
More than 700 people of the locality benefited from the project. Now the people can travel comfortably for shopping, for official work, for banking, for schooling, for visiting health centers, etc.
I and my team learned many things such as team work, collaboration, cooperation and participation. We felt very happy to see local people travelling comfortably on the road we repaired. We are also planning to continue the same project whenever the need arise.
