Plans for 2009
Senior high projects
will take place in South Los Angeles; McDermitt, NV; Indian Valley
(Greenville), CA; and Loleta, CA. We will again offer our successful
Tijuana, MX project, which was first piloted last year.
The
location of our junior high program is still not determined. It
will probably be in either Yerington, NV or on the Round Valley Reservation
in Covelo, CA. Both of these locations are about 4-hours driving
distance from Sacramento.
Summer of 2008
The summer has been a wonderful success.
Over 1,750 youth and adult volunteers worked at our five reservation sites,
in South Los Angeles and in Tijuana, Mexico. Teams completed work on a
total of 127 projects! In Honduras, 35 volunteers built five complete
houses alongside families and neighbors. Just as important as the home
repair and construction work is the building of lives - of youth
volunteers, adult counselors, our staff, members of the communities in which
we work and the many, many others we come into contact with.
We have posted some photos from our sites, but
we need many more!! Please send us your photos or a link to your
posts. View 2008 Photos.
