the start of a really great project


mom mentioned awhile ago about an idea to raise money to build houses in Amparo out of concrete blocks.
And so, after giving it some thought, I have decided we need to jump in and just do it. I am excited that I am able to combine some school projects with this campaign.

Today I received an email for our contact. He and his wife have been trying to figure out how to get their house built, he feels we are an answer to his prayer, which only confirms that this is something we need to do!

So the official financial word is: the monthly average family income is $155 cdn
new house is $10, 000 cdn for materials and labour.

I won't lie....it's a daunting task. But I'm pretty excited about it!
