In 2008, after then 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake occurred, a majority of the farmer households in Yilong County received damages. Association for Rural Development in Yilong (ARDY) and its Daying Branch went into these farmer households to investigate and calculate the damages. They then reported the conditions to Narada Foundation,who sympathized with the farmers and immediately responded. On June 10th, Narada Foundation signed a contract with ARDY to donate 50,000 RMB for the reconstruction of Limin, Fengxiang, etc. villages in Daying Town. On June 10th, 12th, and 13th, staff members went to the village and verified the material, workers, and funds needed to rebuild the area. The funds were divided among the households.
This project has a deadline in half-a-year. Presently, the project is anxiously progressing. Some farmers’ houses have been renovated, while others are still in the process of being repaired.
