Temporary houses project in Jogjakarta - completed

Temporary houses project for 15 families victim of Jogjakarta earthquake is completed. With $2,300 we received from donors in Washington DC in June 2006, we were able to help 15 families in Bantul area have a place to live. Through a cooperation with a local partner, Dompet Dhuafa, we helped those families by building 15 temporary houses replacing their destroyed houses. (Imagine, with $150 we can build one temporary house!)

Dompet Dhuafa, Hope 4 Our Children's local partner on the ground sent us these pictures. You can see in the picture: The "Kepala Kampung"/Head of village (with the yellow hat), the woman with the yellow T-shirt stood proudly in front of her house and a representative from Dompet Dhuafa (with black and green shirt).
