Volunteers will help build a basic two-four room, steel-reinforced concrete Guatemalan house measuring approximately 400 square feet. Volunteers will have the opportunity to work alongside the future homeowners and learn about the Guatemalan culture through various activities. Volunteers do not need construction experience. Cost $1900 plus airfare. For more information, https://bendhabitat.org/volunteer/global-build/ or contact Robin Cooper Engle, rooper@bendhabitat.org, 541.385.5387.
