'S e iomairt shòisealta ann an Uibhist a Deas a th' anns a' Phròiseact Re-store. Tha seann àirneis air a h-ùrachadh 's air a h-ath-chuartachadh. Tha am pròiseact cuideachd na dhachaigh do sgeama ath-chuartachadh leabhraichean, 's tha e a' toirt cosnadh agus cothroman trèanaidh seachad sa choimhearsnachd.

Tha a' bhidio seo bhon DVD 'Guthan nan Eilean' a rinneadh le Sabhal Mòr Ostaig agus Cothrom Earr mar phàirt de phròiseact Eòrpach Leonardo POOLS. Tha 40 bhidio ghoirid air an DVD, airson luchd-ionnsachaidh na Beurla agus na Gàidhlig, a tha a' sealltainn beatha làitheil ann an Uibhist agus Beinn a' Bhaoghla.

The Re-Store project is based in Bornish, South Uist.

It's run by the community group Cothrom, with support from the European Union.

It aims to put old furniture and books to use again.

In the workshop Seumas Macdonald works with old furniture that has been given to the project.

He cleans and repairs it.

Sometimes he does additional work to make it stronger.

When he is satisfied that it is good enough and strong enough to be sold again, it is placed in the shop.

Seumas is happy to explain to customers what work he's done in whichever language they prefer.

There is also a book project in the shop. Avril Campbell is in charge.

This offers some employment and training opportunities too.

As well as repairing furniture the project will deliver it to the new owner's home.

In offering good quality furniture at a low price delivered to your door the Re-Store project has developed a niche market in Uist. As it also reduces the amount of waste we produce, it can be seen to be providing a valuable community service too.
