The Australian Defence Force engineers on Operation Pakistan Assist II have pitched in to help rebuild a local school at Kot Addu damaged by the Pakistan floods.
The Defence engineers spent two days repairing the school roof, concreting the floors, repainting and rendering the classrooms and rebuilding the surrounding security wall.
The Defence engineers are deployed on Operation Pakistan Assist II in support of Australian Medical Task Force health centre in Kot Addu. The health centre is part of the wider Australian Government package of assistance to Pakistan in the wake of the floods.
