Building a House for Tomas

July 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

The house that we are building in Cerro de Oro for the family of one of our students, #707 Tomas has many difficulties. It is a very difficult location. Everything has to be carried in by hand. Volunteers worked very hard this week delivering the building supplies. They had a lot of help from the neighborhood children who
quickly turned up to help. They carried a block each down the long, steep rocky path. They returned quickly once they had dropped that block off and came back for more. At the end of the day, they were treated to drinks and a snack and given money to take home to their families.

    Hats off to Jim, Sean, Cameron, Lisa, the MF gang and everyone else that helped with this! Getting to this home was hard enough to navigate to without the cinder blocks! What a great family to receive the new home. Very humble and gentle.
