Wednesday, July 24, 2024/// DYCA PIO


Amin, Maap— In Amin, Maap, the DYCA team, along with the project manager Hermanegild Archeaq, conducted a follow-up visit on Wednesday, July 24th, to assess the progress of the stone path restoration project. This significant project aims to repair and restore the Dinew stone path, an essential part of Yap's cultural and architectural heritage. The project's due date is set for September 30th.


The restoration project is a vital endeavor to preserve the cultural and traditional aspects of Yap architecture, ensuring the historical significance of the site remains intact for future generations. This initiative highlights the community's commitment to maintaining Yap's culture.


The scope of work involves the village providing labor, equipment, and materials necessary to clear and clean the site grounds. Additionally, the village will restore the site to its original structure, shape, and form. Where applicable, trees or shrubs will be planted to enhance the site's appearance without compromising its historical value. 


The project will be completed in three phases. In Phase 1, community workers will clear and clean the area around the Dinew stone path, collecting scattered stones and rocks for use in the restoration. Phase 2 will involve the construction and completion of 72.09 meters of the stone path, restoring it to its original shape. Finally, Phase 3 will see the construction of the remaining portion of the stone path, ensuring it returns to its original form and shape.


The community's involvement and commitment are vital for its successful completion, ensuring that the cultural and traditional aspects of Yap architecture are preserved for future generations.
