Jeff Rutt, here.
I recently got back from a Homes for Hope trip a wonderful
group of people from all over the country to the Dominican Republic. This trip,
like so many others I've taken, reminded me of the true purpose behind Homes
for Hope and HOPE International. It's still amazing to me how so many people
have banded together over the past few years to help make a difference in
global poverty.
Following on the heels of this trip, I am glad to announce
that Wathen Castanos Hybrid Homes has joined the Homes for Hope team, and that
they have started construction on our first Hope home in California.
Wathan Castanos is nationally recognized for their quality, green
homes. However, the builder also embodies a culture of stewardship, supporting
organizations such as Project Playhouse, Youth for Christ, Habitat for Humanity
and now Homes for Hope.
Through this build, we hope to raise more than $100,000 in
funds for HOPE International who will use the money to find micro-loans to
aspiring entrepreneurs in 17 developing countries, including the Dominican
Republic.
The new home will be located in the Artisan Harlan Ranch
subdivision at 4317 Salem Lane, Clovis, CA 93619.
If you're in the home building industry either as a builder
or trade supplier, I hope you will take the time to check out Homes for Hope.
To date, we've generated more than $10 million, which has helped more than
100,000 entrepreneurs break the cycle of poverty. By joining our team, you too
can experience how giving a "hand up" can build a future of hope and
promise.
Blessings,
Jeff Rutt
