Local council decides support for development assistance
An action of the help organization"Vision Hope" for a development assistance in Yemen was supported by the local council. The project concerns that the members of the help organization prepare firewood in the municipality forest who will be sold to the municipality for the same price it could be sold by them.
The preparing of the firewood is for the municipality a losing transaction, because the costs of the personnel employment are not covered by sales proceeds. The members of the organization does not only carry out free development assistance but also they reduce the personnel expenditure of the municipality.
