Furthermore, BTL volunteers will assist physically in the reconstruction of the homes that were damaged .Additionally, staff will conduct house to house visits to distribute 150 food packages to the village residents. These packages contain basic household necessities such as canned foods, rice, flour, beans, sugar, water, powder milk, salt, toiletries, and blankets, and much more.
