Off to Mexico!

Meet my new friends in Nayarit, Mexico! Well, we haven't exactly met yet, but when we are building their new house together I'm sure we'll hit it off! I am leaving this saturday for a ten day trip to Nayarit with Habitat for Humanity's Global Village program, where a team of 12 people will work with this family and other volunteers to build a house!














Rosalva is a single mother working two jobs and this family of three currenlty live in a one bedroom apartment with ten other family members. She has been waiting two years for this opportunity to build a house!

I will add some pictures and stories when I get back. until then.. peace.

I hope you don't mind that your Mom shared your blog with me. I think it is great that you are working with Habitat. My oldest daughter, Kathleen, has helped build homes in Agua Prieta, Mexico with a group from our church. It is not affiliated with Habitat, but a simliar situation. Thank you for taking your vacation time to help this family get their home.
