Building Dora's Home

Dora’s Story:

Dora’s house was built in 2007. She and her husband live with their two children, Alejandra and Rudy Esau. This family lives up the hill, out of Tizate a little ways and their house was made of bamboo and bags held together by stickers. Like many families in Central America, land is inherited by their parents. Some people, like Dora, inherit land situated in a precarious position; right on a mountainside. There is little to do in these situations but build a retaining wall, sometimes which costs just as much as the home itself.

The Rest of the Story:

Dora’s two children, Alejandra and Rudy Esau, have attended the school since the very beginning. They are wonderful, delightful children and have grown now into young teenagers. Rudy is also blessed to have a sponsor in Canada that regularly prays for him.

During the construction of this home, the ministry had some extra property that we were able to loan this family to use for planting and harvesting crops of bean and corn, giving them a free supply of food.

We are thankful to have had the opportunity to provide a more secure home for this family, to have loaned land to them for short-term farming, and to have continued and long-term relationship with them by providing a Christ-centred education for both Ali and Rudy. There have been ups and down overs the years in financial stability, but Dora is a dedicated mother to her children who works extremely hard to continue to provide for them and for their futures.
