Last week, my husband and 41 other volunteers performed a house building blitz in Anapra, a region of Juarez, Mexico that used to be a landfill. People actually live there, often in shacks made of palettes and cardboard. The houses built by volunteers are not much bigger, but they're made with real building materials: concrete, 2x4's and roofing. They have electricity.
I am imensely proud of my husband who organized this event and of all the people that volunteered time and resources to it . If you care to read more about their week, go to Scraps of Grace

How wonderful!! What a great project!
Dear Cathy,
This story of house building in Mexico has filled my heart with joy. I wish I lived close to you so I could be a part of your church. Muchisimas gracias
This is so, so wonderful. There is such an abyss of poverty, but every project helps lift the burden a little. Just think of the joy of the families who were helped. Jen
