Homes with no electricity or fresh water
Little government or charity aid
Many of the houses you are about to see occupy several people. They have dirt
f loors and often no plumbing or electricity. The houses are bui lt out of scrap materials, with no foundation or structure. There is no protection from the heat of the day and the
cold of the night.
In 2007, Eight family members joined together to build a house for a family. We col lected about 80 gifts for the
community, but ran out in about 5 minutes.After returning home with a new perspective on our own
blessings, we spread the word about Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point). Through the generosity of others, we were able to
grow.In 2008, Fifteen family members joined together to build
another house. This year, we were able to provide around 800 gifts of clothes, toi letr ies, toys, blankets, and baby
supplies. Even with the incredible growth, we were sti l l only able to help a small portion.
Being a part of the Puerto Penasco trip is a truly l ife changing experience and with continued support, we’l l be
able to grow bigger, help more, and truly make a difference for this community.
