Thrivent Builds Worldwide, El Salvador Community

This week, I'll be joining a team of 9 volunteers in San Salvador, El Salvador, as we head to the western city of Ahuachapan. This project supports the Getsemani Community:
Strengthening the Getsemaní Community is a three-year project that aims to improve the living conditions of 138 families in a low-income community through a holistic development project.  In collaboration with community leaders and other partners, Habitat will build 90 houses and develop programs in community leadership, values education, community health, cultural exchange and microentrepreneurship. (read more)
So, just a few more days to brush up on my Spanish and start my preventative dose of malaria medicine then we're off! Looking forward to sharing my stories!

Good luck on the Spanish brush up Lara. You'll be fine once you get there and hear it all day long :)
