Pa’dang Church

Building Habitat
In May 2010, members of the PAMSC committee with their family and friends volunteered at a Habitat for Humanity job-site. The objective was to raise awareness amongst architects about Habitat’s activities and to show how simple it is to give-back to the community.
Building Community
Building a toilet for a local community becomes an event where social issues such as the lack of public amenities, housing and educational support can be highlighted, and people can come together for a common good.
