The PPF portable hand wash unit is currently being trialled in 4 remote sites in Nepal. The Dhulikhel Hospital team has been using it in their remote dental camps in the hills and so far the feedback has been very positive.
Many thanks to Dr Dilip from the community dental team for the cooperation, and the great images.
Danny Hoekstra will join Andrew on the PPF sanitation team in Nepal next month. Danny is an awarded plumbing champion with impressive domestic and international experience as well as being a seasoned traveller and volunteer. Welcome to the PPF team Danny!!
Namaste! 🙏🏽

PPF fundraiser. A great evening and a great success. PPF alumni presenting their projects, thus weaving the story of PPF’s development and evolution. Conviviality and connections interspersed with competitive raffling and auctioning.
Huge thanks to all who attended, donated, participated, contributed, planned, worked and enjoyed.
The abundant funds raised will support PPF’s upcoming projects over the year to come and more.
Many thanks also to @rosemontstrings for both your musicality on the night and your very generous raffle prize. And to @theguthrieproject for catching the mood of the evening through your candid pics. And to @yha_sydneyharbour for the use of your hall and its excellent facilities.

Meet Almo Troup @trouthouse_ from Melbourne, one of the 2 successful PP Architecture Scholars 2024. Almo’s study topic is Reviving Our Resources.
The study will address the resource consuming and increasingly unnecessary production of virgin building materials. Building on information and experiences from design professionals and industry leaders in fields of waste utilisation, Almo will produce a video that will illustrate how building waste can be channelled into practical and beautiful architectural objects.
Welcome Almo, PPF looks forward to supporting you over the next 12 months.
