Last January, our team had the privilege of building 3 homes and a clinic for families living in severely impoverished conditions. We partnered
with EFCCM’s career missionary Cecilia
Huezo and El Ro-I Ministries in
the small community of Tutultepeque, El Salvador.
A few
days before we arrived, the families who had been chosen to receive homes had
to tear down their current structures. With no shelter, they were sleeping
under the stars for a few nights. No question about it, they needed homes! Most
had no bathroom, kitchen, fridge and more importantly, no safety from the
elements.
We built small, basic houses consisting of a prefabricated metal
frame with corrugated steel siding and roof. Each was assembled in a single day
with Canadians and El Salvadorians working hand-in-hand. It was a
life-affecting experience!
