2024 Town Tools Project Page

The need for tools is rather desperate.  In a place like Dekpor, community labour is an expectation.  They have the manpower, but having the appropriate tools always poses a problem. Several years back, we came up with the idea of setting up a tool-lending library.  It has worked really well, so every couple of years, it is time to replenish the supply.

This time around, we got:

  • 30 flat shovels
  • 30 loader shovels
  • 30 machetes
  • 6 pick axes
  • 6 votsos (root-digging tools) 

We raised $1000, thanks to the following people:

  1. Lauren Pettinger
  2. Gerard Baribeau
  3. Carolyn MacDonald
  4. Peggy and Bob Belcher (in honour of Mabel-Anne and Allan)
  5. Kathryn Kaminski
  6. Jeanette and Ilienna Hasanoski (for Mr. Mallen)
