El Salvador
Devastated Homes
Small
villages near Concepcion de Ataco in El Salvador were devastated in
violent storms
that hit last summer, leaving hundreds of families without
good shelter. There is a government supported housing project for
rebuilding the homes (mostly cardboard at the time they were
destroyed) that
will be reconstructed as small formed pre-cast concrete homes at a cost of
about $2000 USD each. After visiting these villages last
year, Greg Poe decided that the Ryan J. Poe Foundation would donate the funds to construct one of these badly needed homes.
This is a poverty-stricken area, and the new homes are being
constructed of concrete to withstand even the worst weather
in the future. (See photo of construction below)
Schools In Need
There is also a project in the works
for the school which primarily needs simple supplies at this time;
paper, pencils, erasers, crayons, etc. You can help by
sending even small amounts of these simple supplies! There
are other critical needs as well - running water and
plumbing for real bathrooms and toilets, a fence for the
perimeter, kitchen supplies, etc.

The Ryan J. Poe Foundation
delivered these supplies and others at the end of

will help rebuild these villages and help provide better
lives for the families there.
