Faisal, Emir of Makkah region, has sent a letter of appreciation to Dr. Ali Bin Nasser Al-Ghufais, Governor of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC), for the efforts the corporation's Jeddah centers have made in the renovation of flood-damaged houses. Some 350 TVTC workers are working on a free face-lift program to help flood-hit residents repair their homes. Dr. Al-Ghufais expressed his gratitude to Prince Khaled for his gesture and affirmed that the institution would continue its efforts until all damaged houses are rebuilt. “Since the disaster first occurred, we have been keen to lend a hand to the distressed people,” Al-Ghufais said. He added that TVTC workers have completely repaired 244 residential units so far. “Our home maintenance program is being carried out by TVTC experts in all fields, such as carpentry, refrigeration, welding, electricity and painting. We have also made all the required raw material available for workers to ensure continuous work and better service,” he said. He added that an emergency center has been located near Abraq Al-Reghama, east of the Haramain Road, to receive requests from the owners of damaged houses. According to Al-Ghufais, the center receives house maintenance applications day and night seven days a week.
