Building Homes In Chile

A group of employees traveled from London to Chile to build a house for a young Chilean family of four. The family was living in an extremely basic, crowded house without modern day conveniences. The group built the house from the ground up in one week. The family purchased the house for approximately US$150.00 payable over several years. On their long flight home, the volunteer group expressed a sense of achievement, as well as appreciation for how fortunate their own lives have been.
