Over the last year One Mission has done and been through a lot. We're excited to say that we've built over 30 homes in the last year.
What really gets us going (and why we do what we do) is the community we get to create. At our last job site there were 18 American volunteers but 57 people on the job site. Those were neighbors, friends and family members building up their community. Angelica (who received the home) not only slept in a nicer house that night but she also became more connected to her community. Her community came together and helped her in her time of need. Its an exciting thing to get to be a part of.
To see neighbors who previously didn't trust each other laughing, eating, and working together is absolutely inspiring.
Thanks to CCV Adult Ministries Staff for coming down and spending the week with us building for Angelica and her community.
