Public Works Staff Build Adobe Homes In Hungary
Public works employees have built eight adobe homes in Gilánfalva, an exclusively Roma village in Baranya county, in what Interior Ministry undersecretary Péter Szabó described as a pilot project. The houses were built by 20 workers in less than four months with the help of architecture students from the University of Pécs, at a total cost of Ft 70 million.

Electricity was installed by businesses from nearby villages. The homes all have bathrooms and wood-fuelled heating.
