On 26 and 27 May 2018, the General Meeting of our association was held in Hauteluce (Savoie): two very busy half-days to take stock of the actions carried out in the past year and to prepare those for the year to come.
CAPA (Construire et Agir Par l’Architecture), our partner in the reconstruction from the outset, was represented by Vincent Peña (site manager for the reconstruction of 6 earthquake-resistant houses in the village of Rapcha) and Julie Klein (architect).

The meeting concluded with a forum of local associations working in Nepal.
ANUVAM proposed a series of panels presenting the village of Rapcha, Nepalese handicrafts and an exhibition of photos of Nepal.
Videos were also shown:
– one from the IUT in La Rochelle illustrating the benefits of earthquake-resistant construction techniques
– and that of the Butterfly Help Project association.
Swiss members of an association working in Kharikhola (a day’s walk from Rapcha), whom we had met in Nepal, also joined the forum, and we had some fruitful discussions about our respective earthquake-resistant construction projects.
The forum was an opportunity to meet new people and exchange ideas.
