This is what I will be building!

Some of you have been asking what kind of houses I will be building in Vietnam. I finally have an answer. I am very excited! Plus I am going to be putting to good use my painting skills. If this doesn't touch your heart....

6 houses in four and a half days 2 new houses in Kien Giang for girls that have been victims of sex trafficking that used to live in the garbage dump. Brick walls, tile floors, thatched/tile roof.
2 houses in My Hiep Village (Dong Thap), 1 house in Tan Hoi Trung (Dong Thap), 1 house in Sa Dec (Dong Thap). These are houses of the children Catalyst's scholarship program.
First house: A "shelter" made out of leaves. We'll build a brick one room loft home with a tin sheet roof combination of tin and thatched siding and a room for kitchen.
Second house: Build an "addition" to their current house with a wood frame, brick wall and a bathroom.
Third house: A deteriorated thatched house they would like a one room house with a tile wall and roof, and bathroom. Fourth house: Brand new construction with cement foundation, tile floors, brick walls, tile room, bathroom etc. Their house was destroyed by the last season of typhoons.... AND 5 home renovations in Dong Thap - replace the siding with new thatch and/or tile roof. Our new houses cost an average of $2000 and the house renovations will be around $300-$400. It will be amazing to get these built for our girls!
