Cook Islands Field Representative Tuaine Tuara visited the Muri community in August 2014 and observed that the building constructed with Seacology funds in 2010 is well-used, and is currently functioning as a community center, health clinic, and community police station. Village leaders wish to make improvements to the building to make it more functional and secure, and so that it can be used as a market for local women to sell produce and handicrafts. In return, the community has agreed to protect their 413-acre conservation area for an additional 10 years.

The main building has been used for community workshops and other village activities. The clinic is being fully utilized by nurses from the Ministry of Health. A volunteer caretaker is looking after both buildings as well as the water purifier. According to Allan Tuara, the community sends their appreciation to Seacology for the tremendous help in bringing these two centers back to what they used to be.

Field representative Allan Tuara reports that the center was officially opened on August 14, 2010 with over 100 people in attendance. The water purifying unit attached to the outside of the center is also now fully functional and clean water is readily available to the community free of charge.

Field representative Allan Tuara reports that the old toilets/bathrooms in the main hall have been demolished and new toilets/bathrooms to the rear side of the hall have been framed and lined with all water piping done. The ceiling to the main hall area has been reframed and partly lined and is awaiting completion of the wiring. Once the new wiring is installed then the ceiling in the main hall can be finished and the main hall painted. 60% of the interior and 95% of the exterior walls have been painted with new primer/sealer and are ready for new paint to be applied.
