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.)

Building a home for a family in need in Juarez, Mexico.

Canvas are teaming up with Casas por Cristo to build a house for a family in need in Juarez, Mexico this summer. We’d love to take a whole group of people to make it an even better experience for all. If you’d like to be a part of a trip like this, one that radically changes the life of a family, come to Canvas tonight (Thursday) at 8pm for a quick informational meeting (here’s more information on the Facebook event page).

If you have any interest at all and can make the time, you’ll definitely not want to miss it. Come be a part of something truly meaningful.

David making Canvas even better.

David Perez, a brilliant artist and graphic designer has made the trip from Spain to help us make Canvas even better. Right now he’s adding his artistic works to the walls of Canvas. As you can see here, he’s doing some incredible work.

It’s amazing what David can do with a little spray paint. Come and see his work for yourself at the 2009 Canvas Kick Off Party on the 6th of October.
