Crisis
Corps Volunteer Bret works with woman completing a house.
Carolina,
architect and project manager for CARE, talks with one of the Las Peņitas
women.
Ron,
another Crisis Crops Volunteer and retired building contractor from California,
instructs roofing crew on the details of properly installing the beam needed to
support the roof overhang in front of a house. The barrel takes the place
of a ladder.
The
Las Peņitas women, men and children are in much better spirits now than
when we left in March. We pose for a group photo outside the Pepsi-Cola
stand.

school.
This is the "model" - the first structure built on CARE's section of
project. It is now the office and storage building for cement. A
battery-operated CD radio is used to communicate with the CARE office in
Choluteca or people riding in CARE vehicles.
