Honduras - October - November 1999
Hurricane Mitch Relief Effort
This young pastor and his wife lost
everything they owned to Hurricane Mitch. They're smiling again thanks to the hard
work and God inspired ideas of the mission team. The houses in the background are
the type usually built in the area. The homes are more economical and stronger |
| The first ever "Hurricane
Home." These homes are larger, less expensive, more comfortable and sturdier
than the present standard cinder block home with a tin roof. |

The foundation is laid (above
center) and the form is erected (above right). At left the rebar is installed on the
inside of the form before being sprayed with concrete. |
| Rain made early construction
challenging. The mud was so deep and slippery that equipment had to be carried 500
yds. to the building site. |

The unsung heroes take a short break
for a photo pose. It's a good thing it was raining, otherwise they would be covered
with mud! |
