“Come on, we can do it together,” Hisako said, clenching his fists.
On the next day, they came to the materials shop to discuss the matter. After a few bargaining and such, they made an agreement. They had a deal. Nayau and several supportive friends such as Apoi, Sinko, Hisako, Noh, Dasen, Supardi, Mio, Nino and several other women began working together to build a dam and a mill house along with the water channel in the form of a ditch that reached 200 meters in length and 40 cm in depth. They worked collectively, piled sandbags for the dam, covered the mill house with tarpaulin and covered the generator with zinc. Everything was done manually. Every day, their profusely sweat was not felt as a barrier to their passions to change the condition
of their village. They were eager to make their village enlightened and eliminate the limitations of their activities at night.
After three months, the micro hydropower plant was finally completed. Finally, the houses where they lived were in joy at night. Those who previously doubted the value of hard work, cooperation and care for the environment then joined in cheers. Villagers were then more enthusiastic about protecting the forest and the surrounding environment to keep the water supplies remaining available. Nayau smiled broadly and was proud of his friends.” The beauty of Gurung Mali village
will stay forever and people will be more prosperous since they are more productive now,” Nayau whispered “Togetherness can break through limitations”
