A mission with a Philantrophic motive.As you read your face may lit up with a smile. Build4Hope is a platform for all to access information relating to specific fundraising or advocacy projects of significant scale. We have named this build4hope.org, because that is what we are all attempting to do: encouraging people from all walks of life to come together, so that we can build hope for the millions living in poverty housing all over the world.
The largest display house made of Tetra pack drink packets was raised in Singapore by the Build4Hope, a Habitat for Humanity Project, to commemorate the completion of the 1,500th tsunami relief huse in Meulaboh in Aceh, Indonesia.It consisted of more than 45,500 Tetrapak drink packs, the houses were part of Habitat for Humanity Singapore’s Build4Hope advocacy and fundraising event. Build4Hope was also a curtain raiser for the completion of the 1,500th house in Meulaboh town, along the northwestern coast of Indonesia’s Sumatra island, under HFH Singapore’s tsunami recovery project.Measuring five by two and a half metres each, the "houses" were carefully constructed from 45,528 empty drink packets. The houses, each measuring five metres by 2.5 metres, resembled those built for the tsunami victims in Meulaboh Aceh Indonesia.
The frames and roofs for the houses, designed to resemble the houses in Meulaboh, were put up at Vivocity’s open-air plaza by volunteers from the Singapore Polytechnic. Each day, some 200 students who were on vacation worked in shifts to build the houses’ walls with MARIGOLD drink packs, donated by Malaysia Dairy Industries. First-time Habitat volunteer Tan Sheue Ying, an 18-year-old student from Victoria Junior College, said: “The event is a good idea – the ‘houses’ are big, visible and attract attention.”
The completion of the Tetrapak houses was due to the generosity of the public and business corporations who donated S$2 (US$1.30) per “brick”. Many people also walked up to HFH Singapore’s booth to drop tens and even hundreds of Singapore dollars into the collection boxes. Those who made greater contributions also took part in a donation draw with the air ticket prizes donated by Cathay Pacific.
At Vivocity’s indoor atrium, HFH Singapore also mounted a photo exhibition of its work in tsunami recovery projects in Meulaboh as well as Habitat’s work around the Asia-Pacific region. The vivid photos contrasted the grim reality of poverty housing with the bright smiles of Habitat home partner families who were assisted by HFH Singapore and its partner, the Singapore Red Cross.
