STICKS & STONES
Haiti Home Construction

Mix into one week of Travel:

- A SafeWater Plus Project in Haiti
- Rotary
- World Vision
- Haiti Outreach
- Thirteen Rotarians and friends
- One week of time
- Minimum of skills
- Over abundance of heart and caring
- Sweat and labor
- A week of no electricity and cold showers
- A few bottles of Prestige beer


Stir as needed until you feel so good that you can't stop crying.
The result is was a 16 x 22 foot home for a family of five.

Donna and I just returned from an eight day volunteer trip to Haiti as a part of our SafeWater Plus Project. Our goal was to build a home (literally from sticks and stones) for a family as a part of our water project.


Tools used in construction:
Shovels, a hammer, a few nails, hand saw, string, machetes, D batteries, and lots of team effort.

Your life will never be the same.

On behalf of all the children of Haiti, my sincerest thanks to our caring team.
