Building New Type of Housing

In response to recent flooding and mud slides in Honduras, Friends of Honduran Children has been developing new prefab homes. Taking the lead from one of our Honduran translators (who is also an architect) a team of volunteers led by Gregg Gordon and David Cain designed and constructed homes which can be quickly built to provide shelter for families.

David Cain from Friends of Honduran Children says, "Our goal is to build buildings and programs that make sense for them (Hondurans)." He continues that if proven this technology would be part of our, " "Play book for future disasters" and that we would have "Proven technology that can be shared with other charities".

We cant change the world but in this little part we can make a difference. Dr. Jim McCallum, President, Friends of Honduran Children
