All work is paid labor and formalized through labor contracts.
Workers receive their pay directly, with payment stringently documented. From November 1995 through February 1996, almost 1,200 villagers from 12 villages have been hired by the project. Wages ranging from 200 kyats to 300 kyats per day have been set for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers. We do not need nor will we use any infrastructure not built by us. About 15 miles of graded roads have been constructed to support this project.
