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.
