Photos of the first house erected

Well done to the guys in Villa Maria for their sterling work on Salome's new house. It may look basic, but it's now watertight, windproof and will shortly have running water and electricity. More photos and videos to come.

Three families benefit from Katie's Campaign

The guys in Villa Maria had a difficult job establishing which of the many families needed the most urgent help with their homes, but work has now begun to build new houses for the following families:

Salome Gladis Chávez, single mother with four children.
Fabiola Baldeón, mother with two young children and a diabetic husband
Evaristo Ramírez Liñan, single mother with two childen.

This is Salome's house at the moment, check back in a couple of weeks to see its replacement.
