The United Nations said that in total $13.34 billion has been earmarked for the crisis through 2020, though two years after the quake, less than half of that amount had actually been released, according to U.N. documents.
To make plaster, approximately 1 1/2 cups of boiling water are salted and mixed with 4 cups of flour. The mixture is set aside until it is cool enough to handle, yet still warm to the touch. The plaster is then molded into the desired shape by hand or by using specially designed arts-and-crafts molds. An alternate plaster of Paris recipe calls for glue and water. To make this version, two parts of diluted white glue are mixed with one part warm water.
To avoid damaging the mold, you can place it on a soft surface, with the hollow side down. You can also tie a string around the cast and hang it from a hangar or a nail in the wall. 1  Cover the completely dried cast with an oil-based varnish to strengthen it and prevent mold. 2  Once dry, your plaster mold is ready for use.
