Hello friends,
After 95 floors, more than half funded though this Global Giving fundraiser, GHA got sidetracked by urgent need for roof repairs and replacements in San Pablo La Laguna. Our 16th roof was recently completed, even as the rainy season was in full force. The floor project will continue. Its important. We would greatly appreciate more donations towards the project.
In other progress, GHA, with the eager help of teens from Walking Tree Travel, just finished a home for an amazed and grateful recently widowed elderly woman whose adobe home was melting around her, its floor dirt, its roof riddled with holes. It was a great alliance, with the teens orchestrating a meal at the end of the project, and many tearful goodbyes.
Next week we begin building 2 side by side homes to house a family of 8 who had been renting the home pictured below for 14 years. It had 2 small rooms and half the family slept on the dirt/mud floor. One generous donor bought a parcel of land, and many others have pulled together to make this a reality.
Consider coming yourselves to build with us. It will be a memorable experience.
