Major Engineering Project In East Timor Nears Completion
The International Stabilisation Force (ISF) and the Defence Cooperation Program (DCP) have partnered with the East Timorese Defence Force (F-FDTL) and the United States Navy to reconstruct the Nu Laran school in Dili.
The Engineering Civic Action Program (ENGCAP) is one of many tasks being completed throughout Pacific Partnership 10, a US Fleet sponsored mission delivering medical, dental, engineering, and veterinary aid in South East Asia and Oceania.
Rebuilding Nu Laran, which commenced mid July, has seen a dramatic improvement in the primary school’s classrooms, boundary fences, recreation areas and walkways.
