We’re Going to Mexico
Posted on 10. May, 2010 by Kevin in Announcements, Blog, Events, Photos
This summer, after everyone has aced their exams and finished their courses, Canvas is going to Mexico! There are a lot of families in Mexico who don’t have proper housing, so fifteen people from Canvas are going to build a house for a family who really needs one. Here are a few of the fearless team who will be making this trip and making a difference:
We’re flying into Atlanta, Georgia, jumping into a big van, and road tripping across America into Mexico. We’ll spend 4 days there building a house with our own two hands. Hammering, cutting, drilling, and plastering. After 4 days we’ll hand the keys of the new house over to the family who will live there. Then we’ll jump in a van and drive home. Oh, and we’re also going to stop in some cool cities along the way to do a little touristy sightseeing. Can you blame us?
Right now we are fund raising for the materials to build the house. Want to make a donation? We’d be very grateful! Contact Jenn or Mike for more information. (We hope to enable online giving soon.)
