Hungary's Continest Technologies Plc. will deliver foldable containers designed for temporary housing for nearly 250 families to the fire-ravaged Hawaiian Island of Maui by the end of October.

Commissioned by the Hawaiian Family Life Center aid organization, up to 1,000 people will be housed in the modular housing units on the 10 hectares of land donated near Kahului.

The first shipment of the project, left Hungary by air, on board a Boeing Globemaster III C-17 strategic heavy transport aircraft, from the MH 47th Air Base in Pápa, Hungary, arriving on the island of Maui early Monday morning, Hungarian time.

Upong arrival, employees of Continest USA and the Family Life Center were on site to greet the crew of the SAC C-17 military cargo plane.

Once the units were off-loaded, the team immediately began to set-up the first housing containers.
