Hope restored


This is Anitese Mentor with her two grandsons in front of their home.

With neighbors looking on, Anitese digs the foundation for her new home with her machete. She is 78 years old.

The foundation blocks are set in mortar and Anitese fills in the gaps with her own food bowl.

Anitese and her grandsons in front of their painted new home. The whole project took only five and half days because Anitese worked before our crew arrived in the morning and after our crew left at night. Anitese came to church with her grandsons last Sunday to thank God for this precious gift. Thanks to Cross International, there's a little oasis of hope in Guiem near Castel-Pere.
