David Scammell, Director of The Hope Project, based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, has been committed to raise money to build 40 houses in 40 days ; we at JRMD, we are also committed to build 40 houses in 40 days, for 40 families, in Carama. We are committed to join him in making this dream a reality.
Building 40 houses in 40 days, will allow 40 families, totaling around 300 peoples, made by children, women and men, to have homes, where they will live with their families. 40 families who have been in refugee Camps for the last 14 years ; 40 families who lost all their belongings and their dear relatives. This will show them that there are people who care for them, people who have compassion in action.
20 Volunteers of JRMD, together with 40 families will be involved in home building activities, for a period of 40 days and will complete 40 homes, starting Tuesday, July 1st - August 10, 2008.
As you can see from this photo, some of those 40 families are living in places/houses like this one, without hope for their future ;
but, because of this project of building 40 homes in 40 days, for 40 families, there will be a new smile and hope to the 40 families, totaling around 300 people. They will no longer live in isolation as they used to live for the last 14 years, in displacement camps. Sooner, the 40 families will be living in new homes and experience and new way of living, which gives hope for tomorrow.
We are very thankful to David Scammell and each one of the donors who are contributing, to make this project a reality and bring a new smile and hope to the wounded community of Carama.
