Affordable Housing Project - 4

THROUGH MY ANTERIOR POST you have learnt about the third working day running the Affordable and Safe Housing Pilot Plan that is part of the Housing Project impulsed by CHOI to provide affordable and safe houses for the poor families of Chimbote. In this new activity, corresponding to the fourth working day, workers have started building the side wall (perimeter) of the Morán Ballesteros family's house. To achieve this, they had to assemble several papercrete panels by using wood tables and screws. At the same time other workers were placing more concrete blocks on the ground to keep completing the floor of the house. It is expected to finish the perimeter the next working day.

Since workers continue to work, the family members stay at the back of their house. They feel very happy even can hardly believe what their eyes see, their own house being built. Eng. Pablo Muguerza, as always, lead the pilot plan. The CHOI's executive director Mr. Orlando Bermúdez often visits the place to know by himself how the progress of the demo is going. Mr. Jorge Villar also visits the site often.
