The house is going up fast. It is being built with both earth bricks and cement blocks. The earth bricks provide better insulation from the hot sun and the blocks are sturdier to support the windows and roof. It is situated in between the southern and northern neighborhoods and on the highest point of the property. Thanks to Thomas Cracchiolo who is making this possible.
Stay informed, stay involved: here's one way of keeping up with what's happening in southern Haiti. Please consider supporting our mission to save orphans and vulnerable children from desperate poverty; contributions can be sent to our partners at Free the Kids - www.freethekids.org. Thank you for your help.

wow they're really moving on that thing! The earth bricks look pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really like is the way the bricks and blocks join up on the corners. Reminds me of some old buildings back in New England.
ReplyDeleteGood to see fast progress. It will be so much better for you to be able to live at the vilaj.
