A Month of Sundays

Want to know what it's like to build a home for a family in Guatemala? 
We want to take you there! 

The first build of 2012 began on January 1st in Guatemala with a team from Purdue Christian House.  The group built a home for Rosolio, his wife and their three kids. Rosilio and his family live on the side of a mountain in a jungle clearing outside of San Raimundo, Guatemala.  For five months leading up to the build, Rosilio spent eight hours every Sunday digging out this clearing for the team to build the home. Vehicles had to stop 100 yards before the site because the hill down was too steep to maneuver. The only way for the team to carry all of the materials and tools to the site was to pass everything one by one in an assembly line over the 100 yard span. In four days this college team from Purdue University transformed the empty lot into a brand new home. Throughout the week children and adults alike came from all over to watch something they had never seen before. Now it's your chance to come and change the lives of the next family in need!
