Jan Eliot travels to Haiti with Habitat for Humanity
Skip to comments
Stone Soup creator Jan Eliot is on her way to Haiti to join 450 other volunteers for Habitat for Humanity. The group plans to build 100 homes in Leogane.
Due to lack of internet, she plans to tweet her experiences. I’m posting her initial ones below (most recent to older tweets):
This build is on land secured for the future owners. They will each own their plot. http://pic.twitter.com/PohBm0vB
