In the context of the project “Ruka – Food Court: an intercultural place”, winner of the ECOCLUB.com Awards 2010, hereby we present the Final Project Report, providing Textual, Photographic and Video evidence of project  implementation, clarifying the precise dates of each action.

Details are as follows:

On October the 8th, the wood for the building of the furniture was acquired, for an amount of $121.380 CLP. The receipt for that acquisition is presented in the Annex.

After the main wood structure was finished, the next step on the Ruka Building was to make the concrete/cement floor, and placement of the roof. This was made successfully during the second week of October, as can be seen on the following pictures:
