Homes of Hope – February 2010
The first project in Olivia’s Basket is a house we built in Baja, Mexico through Homes of Hope. A group of builders specially invited by Homes of Hope, along with the Ray Family will meet in Baja over President’s Day weekend to build.
Good friends joined us for this two day build that seems to “build” more in yourself than simply a new home for a needy family. We painted, hammered, sawed, and worked our way toward handing over the keys to a young 15 and 16 year old couple due to have a baby any minute. Fully loaded, the house was outfitted with a bed and bedding, stove, kitchen table, pretty curtains and all the kitchen necessities you can think of. Our team also brought along baby clothes and even took the young couple to the grocery store for the first time.
To date, Homes of Hope has built over 2500 homes in a hilly barren area of Ensenada, Mexico. It felt good to add another one to the list. Check out the more builds you can join us in this summer. More than just one life will be changed…including yours.
