Infrastructure

The infrastructure section profiles community assets that benefit the public, and include community buildings, such as the B Section Community Hall. The hall is used in many ways; it functions as a soup kitchen at midday, as a youth group centre after school, as a meeting room for political parties and local leadership groups in the evening, and as a church on the weekends. Recently students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the USA working collaboratively with local volunteers designed and built a new roof for the Community Hall. In addition students and local volunteers upgraded the hall’s electric system, repaired the concrete floor, and strengthened the safety door. With input from local residents, WPI students designed and built eight new wooden benches to provide much needed additional seating.
