The day together Saturday was wonderful! Thanks to each of you who went and to those of you who supported the day in whatever way you were able.

We had a good group of people from both the US and Mexico meet together to make the day happen. We built and installed the latrine at last week’s build site as well as building one for Jazmin shown below in the beginning and end of the day. She has a major surgery coming up next month in her struggle against cancer and now at least she has a decent home, a safe latrine and food and a good stove to cook on. We tried the stove out by making a hundred or so pancakes for the locals and those of us that needed to taste test them too! We will go back next month on the 26th to finish painting and to help her and her kids out however we can and need to. If you are interested in seeing more pics of what a day trip looks like befriend myself, frank Mogavero or Lilly Angel on Facebook to see the pics from each trip. Next month we have an architecture student coming to study our homes in an attempt to make them even better with new ideas and materials.

Hope your week is starting off well. Good to know so many kids are safe and dry in homes we’ve had so much fun building together over the years~! Ray

The cost for each day is $30 and please RSVP way in advance so we can juggle people around into a car if you are not driving yourself into Mexico.
