Hurricane Felix update - Rebuilding Homes

An elderly woman with her wood.

Donated funds from the Chilliwack Business Group chapter have been used to clean up downed trees by sawing them into planks and then providing families in Dakur with the wood so they can rebuild their homes. Here are some pictures from Carlos Coffin (project director in Nicaragua)....
