Juley!
Greetings to all!
Here are the latest Juley updates!
We are proud to announce that the main hostel block which includes the kitchen, dining room and the 6 rooms is almost completed. We are now putting in the finishing touches to the buildings such as painting and the inner panelling.
The library, museum and IT block is still in the progress of construction. We are expecting this block to be completed by the end of September.
We have also started the construction of the second block of hostel. We look forward to its completion at the end of this year.
As seen from the latest photos in the gallery, many of the construction are done by manual labour. As there is no electrical machinery being used, the construction is very labour intensive.
Greenery is a very important and necessary aspect in Ladakh due to the dry and barren land. In total, Project Juley has planted 800 willow trees, 150 poplar trees and 35 apple trees. The apricot trees are planted on 25 April 2011. Rejoice, let’s hope to see the fruits growing soon!
