Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area is committed to combating poverty housing globally, while building locally.
We have helped build 17 homes in Mexico by tithing a percentage of all unrestricted donations.
In April 2010 we will be leading a team of volunteers to build a home in Nayarit, Mexico with the Habitat for Humanity Global Village Program. This program is designed to enable volunteers to gain an authentic experience of another culture whist making a positive and lasting impact.
We will be leading a team to build in the community of La Penita de Jaltemba, located on the western coast of Mexico from Saturday, April 24 - Sunday May 2.
The trip will be lead by the Habitat crew and orientation, in country transportation, simple accommodations, traditional/regional meals, cultural activities, and insurance are all included in the trip fee of $700.
