The efforts have already started and our focus will be to support the a registered group concentrating on the re-build of the town of Laja. Presently the group (led by CMPC) organizing the re-build has concentrated on providing pre-fab housing to Laja ...
· Received money or commitments of roughly $300,000 as of March, 2010
· They have ordered their first 40 homes from North America
· Each home is 38 Square meters with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a kitchen at a very modest cost structure
· A major break bulk carrier has donated 40 homes and are transporting
· All the homes that are purchased by the group are being transported at no additional cost.
· The manufacturer of the homes are sending people to Chile at no charge to teach the local people and volunteers how to construct the homes
· Site preparation for the homes are is being handled by a group of engineers at no extra costs.
A great team and industry effort for our friends in Chile!
More updates and website links will be provided on the progress of the re-build.
Let's join together to help our friends .... Thank-you.
