As someone is coming and going frequently, we have noticed improvements on two of the TORCH houses that were built in the summer of 2008.
The first house is a house built on July 21 in Santa Ana. It is right behind the church that sits on the rock, on the rough, bumpy road that leads to the entrance of Casa de Esperanza. The only people I remember working on this house are Janet and Mary and Nolan. The roof has been redone where it slopes on both side from the middle. A nice new door has been installed. Glass has been put in the window and a little curtain added. Then it was painted green. Very nice, wouldn't you say?
The other house is further down the same road. It was built for Juan, one of the guards at Casa de Esperanza. The Tupelo group built this house. The picture is sort of a strange angle and only shows part of the house. It too has been painted.
We always like to see the people for which we build take ownership and have pride in the houses, improving, adding to, and making it their own.

Thanks for sharing those pictures! It is wonderful to see these families making their houses into homes! love you, Janet
Hi Terri,
I have been keeping up with your blogs but haven't commented too much lately. That doesn't mean I do not read them on a regular basis and soak up all the positive feedback you write.
These torch houses have morphed into real loving homes by what I see. Curtains in the windows is a nice touch to making a house a home. Paint gives them identity and character.
I will get an email off soon.
Love,
Ginger
Hey Terri! That second house is the one we built in honor of Rick's dad. Those were such sweet people.
Hope you're doing well!
Love ya'll....we're making plans for our trips now!
