The core that the week is built around is primarily the house construction of which we did three including all new furniture for the families. There’s so much more we do: using funds contributed by the congregation at the hospital for the poor; taking the handicapped to the beach for an afternoon; preparing a fish stew supper for several hundred one night; distributing the little girl dresses; funding a vacation school program and providing a pizza lunch for about a hundred kids and taking a bus load of families to the Forest Park, an oasis in the desert. But most of all, it is about building relationships with this faith community of loving friendly people. The added benefit is the change in our own lives for the better.
