Building homes in El Salvador Bill and Gord Smith returned from an 18 day trip to El Salvador where they built 10 homes for the needy. The living conditions are very bad. They live in shacks with mud floors. A lot of them have no doors, just a cloth or sheet of tin to cover their entrance. They carry the water and wood on their heads from a supply tank. The kitchen is a cement slab on a stand that they cook on. They sleep on whatever they can scrape up together to make a bed. It was a wonderful trip and a good experience; sad, however to see the poverty and living conditions. Bill and Gord would like to thank everyone for their prayers and generous financial support.
