2008 Building Project

Our 2008 building project was to build a cement home for a family of 5 in Cerro de Oro. The family was living in a 7 foot square hovel that they had constructed out of a cane plant that grows wild in the area. The structure had a metal roof with numerous holes and a dirt floor. When it rained, which it does for 6 long months, the water would run through the floor of the home. They also did all their cooking inside. Therefore the interior walls were lined with soot and it was barely possible to breath the air. To compound the problem the youngest child suffered with lung problems. The clothing was strung on a cord across the inner structure. The family all slept on one woven mat.

The family is actually lucky that they owned a piece of land.

It was not easy to get to the building site. The truck holding all the supplies had to be parked half a mile away. All supplies had to be manually transported down a narrow winding path. Jim, Sean and Cameron Sosa were the main building volunteers on this job. Mayan Families Building Coordinater, Juan, organized the construction. Don Julio and his son were the head masons. The truck driver also helped and he was only paid to drive the truck so as an added treat he received a great hot lunch every day.

The family then built a cane outside structure to cook in with their new onil stove.
