tin can sweet home




Each family has a small red plot number indicating their land and their future. Each time I saw one of these numbers I was touched by there deep significance. Each little cement piece was a physical reminder of homes being built, water to come, crops grown and a future with hope. That is pretty cool for a tiny number.

So, our goal was to build about 20 of these homes. Well, this one was done when we left. ;) And lots of frames where ready for the house building process. We thought the metal would be hot, but Dr. Angel's daughter designed them with natural ventilation and the sun actually reflected away from the metal. So they were quite cool. Goes to show what I know!
