Earlier this year, 60 young men and women from 13 youth groups from the district took part in brickmaking training delivered by Caritas Australia.
Ireneaus Semon, 28, from Kamu Youth Group was one of the participants, learning about value chain, brickmaking theory and practice, procurement and bricklaying.
“We first learned how to make bricks by mixing cement and sand, and which ratio is best for different buildings. Then we made the bricks using a brick mould. During the course we made 140 bricks,” he said.
