We are raising funds to begin construction of our First Family House this year! We do not have the exact dates yet, but are thinking the end of September. In the future we will probably be working with a prefab-building material for all of our houses, but for our first house we will be using Block, rebar and cement (we will rent a cement mixer to make things easy for you).
We have our house plans already and will have manual labourers as well as one brick-layer and a contractor here. But we would love to have some expert bricklayers to work with us, making sure that the construction keeps a high quality while being completed quickly.
Our home is open for a team of 12 people, and we are inviting a few expert bricklayers that we know and giving them (and you!) the option of organizing 1-5 team members to come with them and help with the construction.
Food and accommodation are by donation, and your transport within El Salvador and Tourism will be provided by The Father’s Heart Foundation. Otherwise, we ask that you provide your airfare and donate your time and expertise to the construction of our First Family Home.
We are working right now with our first family parents and as soon as the house is built we will move in with them to complete our training course and prepare for the first set of orphaned and abandoned children; which we hope to receive around this time next year.
If you could pray and save and prepare to come and serve for 10-20 days here in El Salvador, we would be so happy to have you here!
Please let us know what you think and if you have any questions! And please check out our Group on FaceBook and here on our blog for regularly updated information. You can also look up El Salvador on the Lonely Planet website ~ they have listed us as one of the top ten destinations for 2010!
Please contact us soon and let us know what you think, or if you know of anyone else who might be interested!
