Geologist Site Survey : A significant chapter in the annals of the project, "Our Dream Village, Rebuilding Duguna Gadi Villages, "began when the first team of American geologists Robert Leanburk, Elya R Hogan and team reached the remote and devastated terrains of Tatopani VDC Sinduplachowk. The team of geologists armed with advanced technical expertise conducted a detailed survey of the area, identifying areas that would be safe for building houses as well as demarcating arable and cultivable land. A terrific start to the realization of building hamlets and breathing back life into a community that had lost it all.
