You can help build a Good News House! |
|
|
 | Many of the more than 260 homes built by Good News volunteers have been sponsored by individuals, families or groups. Some were built as tributes or memorials, and others were simply much appreciated gifts. A gift of $3500 US will provide materials for a home to be built in 2010. We'd like to build one with your name on it - and, we'd like to have you with us to help build it! |
On each island, a committee of community leaders meets several times during the year to evaluate requests for the houses. Our houses are only 12 by 16 feet in size, and they don't have plumbing or wiring, but they are in great demand. Each housing committee reviews applications from single mothers with children, elderly singles and couples, families with handicapped children, and they visit and see people living in very bad situations.They make the difficult choice of which of the many needy applicants will be given a house, verify land ownership or permission to build, and arrange for foundation work to be done before our volunteer teams arrive. We get great cooperation from our West Indian partners in Good News! |
