What We're Doing (An Outline of our Project)

1. We're organizing support and volunteers to travel to Chincha, Peru in a one-week volunteer construction brigade in May, 2008.
2. We'll help build an earthquake-resistant adobe building there.
3. This building (and its construction) will serve as a model for other construction projects in Chincha.
4. We'll also help at a local children's center.

At the construction site, we will:

• partake in the hands-on work of earthquake resistant Adobe construction
• mix mud
• lay blocks
• lash bamboo
• whatever else may be required to keep the work moving forward

At the children's center, we will:

• do woodworking projects around the Center (Bunkbeds, Shelving Units, Painting, etc.)
• assist with programming and support for the children

All this information is subject to change as we organize and plan with our comrades on the scene in Chincha.
