Safety training

The Tong-Len children received training by specialists in how to cope with emergencies such as fire and earthquakes.  Hands on training was given by the specialist team in the use of fire extinguishers which are located throughout the hostel complex.  The children also received practical advice of what to do during an earthquake such as standing under building beams and hiding under tables and beds.  The hostels were designed on the basis of the most stringent earthquake design codes applicable to the region.  The training was provided through the generosity of the Fontana Foundation.
