Saturday, July 27, through Sunday, August 4, 2019
Keep in mind that we might depart Illinois the night before: Friday evening, July 26.
Please prayerfully consider going on the 2019 build trip in service to another El Salvadoran family. Everyone who goes has good memories, and no regrets. It will be our 9th annual trip! We again seek a group of at least 10 people. The individual cost is about $650 if you are a Thrivent member, and about $1150 if you are not a Thrivent member. We usually raise enough money for the air fare, and the stated cost above covers everything else. Keep in mind that if we go, Thrivent donates $8000 to Habitat for Humanity El Salvador - enough for one complete house! For more information, contact Dean at DeanLOlson@gmail.com
By the way, it's interesting to see from web searches that several other churches and people have traveled to El Salvador and worked with Habitat for Humanity. Here are a couple of other blogs.
