Recently, an unexpected disaster happened to the community. An old man accidentally ignited a wildfire in the community forest and burned many plantations. It caused a big loss to the community both physically and emotionally. More than five plantations under the agricultural rehabilitation program have been burned down as well. The victims of the disaster were discouraged. However, they decided to forgive the old man who started the fire. The incident has opened the community leaders to think seriously about how they can prevent their forest from burning. As a result, they are planning to set up a committee to preserve the community forest and prevent it from any kinds of disasters. It is impressive to see the resilience of this Transformational Community Development (TCD) village and how they engage in solving their new challenges together.

Thank you,
