We Have a Project, And We Need Your Help!
A few days ago we got word from our contact that there is a small village that could use our help. Parts of the area are still under about three and a half feet of water, but people have started returning to their homes. The village is accessible by car for the most part. However, the last two kilometers are still flooded so we will have to walk in. There is also a 1/2km stretch where we will have to wade through water to get to the village. Unlike most of the other villages, these people's homes were for the most part untouched by robbers. Some wooden beams and some bricks were carried away by the flood waters, but most of the iron girders, doors, and windows remained. This means that the homes can be reconstructed for a relatively low cost. We have been asked to oversee the reconstruction of this village (purchasing, overseeing construction, etc.)!
And here is where you come in: There are about 30 houses that we are estimating will cost about $500 to rebuild. 30 houses x $500 per house = $15,000 to rebuild the village.
We are so excited to see this trip coming together and would absolutely love to bless not only the people of this village, but our missionary friends who are feeling overwhelmed with this disaster. We can't imagine what it will be like to live with these people and work side by side with them. Join us in praying for the funds to be raised and for a longer lasting impact than a few simple homes. If you'd like to donate, you can do so on the WorldVenture website, or here on ours. If you choose to donate on WorldVenture's site, please send us your name so that we can be sure your donations are allocated for this effort. They will also provide you with a tax deductible receipt.
