A TUTONG family of three will now be able to live safely in their newly-renovated home, having had to put up for years with an open lavatory.
The renovations came courtesy of the Society for Community Outreach and Training (SCOT) in collaboration with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Brunei) and the Tutong Department of Community Development (JAPEM).
Single parent Eddy Safwan and his two children were living in the eight-year-old house when SCOT members found them as part of scouting visits in 2010.
They discovered that part of Eddy’s house was at risk of collapsing due to weathering, with the toilet and kitchen areas being most damaged.
Eddy’s youngest son had already been injured from two incidents of falling while using it.
The $7,800 renovation project furnished the house with a proper flush toilet and septic system, and included a small extension for a separate kitchen. – Daniel Wood
