St. Paul's member Bob Gessler recently returned from a Habitat
for Humanity Global Village trip to Tajikistan in Central Asia .
During
the two week stay in the country Bob worked on building several houses at two
sites. The houses are constructed of mud bricks on concrete foundations with
sheet metal roofs attached to timber rafters. The Habitat team of 12 people from
across the country primarily helped dig the foundations, mix concrete, pass
buckets of concrete, carry rocks and assemble rebar for the concrete
foundations. While there the team enjoyed the hospitality of the people. Some
highlights include attending the New Year's celebration on March 21 and being
invited into people's homes for meals. Bob will be presenting photos from the
trip during a potluck dinner at St. Paul's starting at 7 pm on May 2. Hope you
can join us.
