Habitat for Humanity El Salvador – 2011 Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) Opening Ceremony

Guadalupe, El Salvador – 2011. This Habitat build project was Habitat El Salvador’s Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) blitz build consisting of six houses in Guadalupe which is a small village located east of San Salvador near the city of San Vicente. Our team was on site for two weeks. During the first week we did preparation work for the blitz build. The second week was the actual Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) blitz build which saw the addition of many local volunteers from schools, churches and interested other groups. Before the Blitz Build started there was an official opening ceremony to introduce the Habitat families and the volunteer teams. Lots of speeches, introductions, presentations and entertainment, plus a parade.
