Pacific Partnership 2013 Engineers Work Alongside Students

Pacific Partnership 2013 engineers from the New Zealand Army are working with students at the Tabaka Rural Training Center to remodel a student accommodation building on the training center's campus, August 7. Tabaka Rural Training Center trains Solomon Islanders on their choice of agriculture, carpentry, electrician work and mechanics. The remodeled building will be used to house the training center's staff and students during their training. "It was pretty much a shell on poles that was about to fall over when we arrived," said New Zealand Army Cpl. Justin Roys, one of the site supervisors. "We've basically given the building back its integrity. We've taken out all the rotten timbers, relined it, reroofed it, added new windows and fixed up the stairs.
