Pwihn Keisu community, also known as Mand community, was longing for having their own community hall being able for all people to access freely and comfortably through a year, without a boarders of religious differences or various migration groups. Community activities have been actively held such as Island Food Community’s workshops for health issues and a mobile clinic arranged by the government’s health team. People of Pwihn Keisu are very energetic and motivated that they are planning to explore more activities by having own community hall when the project will be completed in a year.
