Abstract

PCL describe themselves as a “community for good,” that “[f]rom Southeast Tennessee to Southeast Asia [. . .] implement[s] replicable projects that give hope to communities that need it most” (PCL 2015b, 1). In Andong, they claim to be building a “city from scratch”: “problems in [the] community are large, and [. . .] could not be fixed without completely starting over” (PCL 2015b, 1). And again: The goal of the Build a City project is to rebuild a community that has lost everything – to give the people new homes, new roads, new jobs, and new hopes. In May 2015, we will open a new city with nearly 1,000 homes for families that were forced out of their old village. The finished city will include a health clinic, a marketplace for 13 small businesses, paved streets, clean water, a church, and free English classes for residents.
