Construction Projects
- by Rock's Bride
Construction projects: family style homes for 12 children, a school building, house-parent suite extensions, guest workers’ dorm, waste-water sytem and many more. In the summers, children work right alongside their parents.
Construction skills are not required; volunteers are trained on site.
Here is a sampling of some of the projects we’ve done:
