Rural development project (Film review)

The aim of this project is to teach the people in the rural areas how to build bricks. By learning how to build bricks they will be able to build houses for shelter. And by building houses that is one need that they can cross of their list. By teaching them instead of just doing it for them they are not only giving them pride in their buildings, but now the can sell the bricks for money and maybe even get a job in making bricks. Now they can pass this knowledge down from generation to generation so that shelter may not be an issue anymore.
