House build Spring Break 09 is a GO!
Just a quick update – to say that it looks like we’ve covered the cost of one house build for Spring Break ’09!!
I sent in the last $25 this afternoon, and, if our numbers are right, that’s it for the $6500!!
Fantastic!! I’m so stoked for the CWAC/Young Life ’09 Spring Break trip!
If you are wanting to support us, have no fear! We still have a minimum of 50 fair trade soccer balls and 50 school bags to fundraise for…please help us share hope!
A huge thank you to all of you who’ve supported this house build fund- we couldn’t have done it without you!!
cheers,
james
A rough breakdown of the trip…
I thought it would help to provide a rough schedule of our week in Tijuana last week. Here’s a quick look:
Monday: Travel day, and overhauling a playground in Pipila
Tuesday: We started working on setting up some houses for stuccoing on a hillside settlement
Wednesday: House build day. One house in about 7 hours. No kidding.
Thursday: We spent the morning lining up visits for the rest of the week, and the afternoon was a much needed rest day at Rosarito beach.
Friday: Stucco day on the hill.
Saturday: Second stucco day, beach in the afternoon.
Sunday: Border and travel day – time to rest on the plane, and talk about what an amazing trip we had!
Of course, mixed in with these things were gift drops to local children, playing, having kids programs, and other happenings. I’ll fill in some details soon.
A huge thank you to all of you who have supported us, prayed for us, and sent messages of encouragement. This trip wouldn’t have been the massive success that it was without you!
