An Opportunity...

Howdy Fellow Islanders

My grandsons have brought to my attention an organisation, ShelterHelps.com, that has had many teams from across Canada assisting in El Salvador's reconstruction following the earthquakes of 2011. Since this devastating series of quakes left many thousands of families homeless, Shelter Helps has been constructing homes and training Salvadorians with the skills to construct homes for themselves. Yet having the skills without the funds to purchase the needed materials still leaves thousands without the means to provide a permanent dry home to care for their families. This is where we can help, just $3800 CDN is all that it takes to purchase the needed materials that will provide one family with a dry permanent home for many years to come. Yes indeed $3800 CDN will provide a home in El Salvador.

To get an idea of what $3800 CDN Will do in El Salvador here is a link to a ShelterHelps "Timelapse constructión" in El Salvador

My son Peter, two grandsons, Kai and Zeke and myself along with a team from Sarnia are headed to El Salvador this November. Together the team hopes to finish 20 homes in El Salvador's remote highlands. Should you desire to send words/prayers of encouragement for the recipients of these homes I'd be glad to deliver them for you.

ShelterHelps provides tax deductable receipts for donations. Donations towards the Sarnia team's 20 homes endeavour can be made at

Should you have questions, I'll gladly get together over a coffee, and do my best to find answers.
