Help Build Hope

I am excited about this upcoming project! It's so simple and easy and a great way to get lots of people involved in doing something so real and so good. It mostly happens on Saturday June 11.

On that Saturday morning we are hoping to have 200 volunteers show up at the Mitchell High School front parking lot. There we will build walls that eventually will turn into 9 houses for people living in Haiti - people who are still recovering from a devastating earthquake.

How does it work? About 15 people will gather on Friday to organize all the materials, cut boards, etc., in preparation for the big build day on Saturday. Then on Saturday these 15 will lead 200 people in building 8 x 8 foot walls. All the materials and tools will be provided. After the walls are constructed they will be loaded on a container and shipped to Haiti. A team there will receive the walls, place them on lots, and roof them for people desperate for housing.

We are looking for 200 people to come and help, hoping some can bring $65 OR find someone who will sponsor them for $65. We are also looking for individuals and organizations to provide sponsorship.

Let me know if I can provide any information!
