This is the very second weashroom we have completed on May 13, 2008. This washroom is next to the market and vehicle pool station. The villagers were very eager to help and see the work completed. There were involved with the digging of the septic system and helped with bringing water for the building. The hole is 40 ft deep, 1.5 m long, 1 m wide. The building structure is composed of cement bricks and a wash station was constructed beside the washroom.
