Cross International sponsors home project

Cross International, a non-profit humanitarian organization based in southern Florida, finances our home project. Poor families who could never afford a new home have the chance to own one thanks to Cross International. We identify the needy families and then our older boys do most of the work to keep the costs down. The boys are getting both terrific experience and a sense of pride for their contribution. So far we have built four new homes. Our list grows longer every week. There are now 17 families waiting for their dream of a new, safe home.

  1. What a great way to teach the boys! So many lessons are being learned. The dignity of a days work. A trade that can be used in Haiti. And charity starts at home. Awesome!
