Tesda helps typhoon survivors build their houses

STATE skills training agency Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) will be helping displaced residents in areas affected by super typhoon Yolanda [[international name: Haiyan] to build their houses.

Tesda director general Joel Villanueva said a total of 2,500 residents of the provinces hit by the typhoon, including Leyte and Samar, will undergo a crash course on basic carpentry and house wiring to equip them with the skills in rebuilding their homes and be able to help in other construction works in their community. The training program, he added, will run from December to March next year.
