2011 has been a very encouraging year for Project Mercy and the Mexican families of east Tijuana. We have seen a rise in group trips to build and an increase in overall participation. This past year we expanded construction to Colonia Las Praderas, a new development. Families that settle there are faced with the cost of land payments while renting elsewhere until they can afford a home on their new site. As a result many makeshift shacks have been thrown together and the need is acute. We are so happy to have been able to build 21 houses in this neighborhood so far, and altogether 36 houses in the general area this year. Project Mercy sends its profound thanks to all of you that have helped to make this happen. Every house built not only provides a solid and secure home for a family in need, but also hope for a better future.
