Clay was his main inspiration for the infrastructure, however, several people were uncertain because clay is such a fragile material.

He was able to finish building a high school, library, and school extension. Certainly, with the help from the community there.]]> 2022-10-24 13:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353601522 auriel_clement https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353620775 1. The School Extension: The innovation was to build a clay vault.

2. Library: Openings for light and ventilation were made by authentic Gando's clay pots.

3. High School: The innovation was to cast mud, like casting concrete, specifically for the walls. ]]> 2022-10-24 13:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353620775 auriel_clement https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353717607 The people in Gando are still doing him justice. They can even use their new skills to earn a living by themselves. He won several awards, however it doesn't matter. His legacy is truly something that has changed Gando for the better. ]]> 2022-10-24 14:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353717607 auriel_clement https://padlet.com/auriel_clement/8s2grshnxgb4j40x/wish/2353724034 Now, he has given inspiration to more people outside of his village.
