Building in Dacono and Lesotho Global Village Trip Update

On September 6th, the Global Village team held a build day in Dacono.  The purpose of this day was to get to know each other better before our trip and to help out locally as well as globally.  The team helped frame the front and back walls of the house, lay the rest of the sub floor and build the window frames for the house.

We also worked on an art project that will becoming with us to South Africa; which inspired us to leave a little something behind on this house, a blessing of sorts.

We had a great time helping build this house and helping out our community in general.  Please keep our team in your prayers as we head out next week for our Global Village Trip.

Due to a military coup and continued political unrest in Lesotho, our group of 17 volunteers is unable to work alongside of our tithe partner at this time.  Our Global Village trip has been relocated to Capetown, South Africa, where we will work with Habitat for Humanity South Africa.  We will head to Pretoria to meet with the Executive Director of Habitat Lesotho and the Regional Director of Habitat for Humanity International: Africa and the Middle East.  While not being able to meet with our tithe partner, we are still able build new relationships and help support other Habitat affiliates around the globe.  Please keep Lesotho in your thoughts and prayers as they work to overcome the difficulties that they are facing at this time and to bring peace to the area.
