3 families will soon get a new home

Last Monday Kyrk traveled out to visit 3 families who lost their homes in the earthquake.  Once the request for a new home is submitted and approved by the association of churches, the family then has to show land papers, showing that they own the land.  Then Kyrk goes out and checks the building site etc.  This means that about once every 1 or 2 weeks he is going out to visit people.

This man is currently living in this house along with his wife and 6 children.

Inside their home.  Since the entire wall has fallen down this is what you see when you walk by the house.

This lady is 93 years old and has 14 children, 7 of which have died.  Her house was almost completely destroyed and she is so thankful that she will soon have a new home.

This plot of land is where a lady's house used to be.  It was completely destroyed and following the earthquake she allowed the local school to set up a temporary school on the property.  Now that the school is able to be used she is looking forward to having a new home on her property.

The temporary school was built with whatever materials they could find.
