MOBILE TRAINING UNIT

On the MTU

Thinking back on the effort of the Swiss Contact that brings practical skills training to the Tsunami victim, there's a few important points that had been raised here.

1. The type of education that is brought to public is tailored to the condition.
The urgency of reconstruction, the need of now, requires a lot of people who are able to help and to participate, to have those skill to be part of some reconstruction team
2. It package education in a nice way - a truck form, which in turn suited more to the kind of training they provide

3. Most Important - they brought education to public. It comes to you rather than you goes to it.
