This project is made possible by the Government of India thru the Office of the President Grants Office, a Partnership project initiated by Dil Odesangel Club with the guidance of the Project Team Leaders and in collaboration with the Peleliu State Government.
By the end of the project, the State of Odesangel will have new signs beautifying and identifying key and significant areas, historical & tourist sites, so visitors can be guided when touring the Island of Enchantment. More importantly, our 17 youth would have acquired skills and knowledge on traditional wood carving. [/restrict]
