Habitat for Humanity El Salvador – 2011 Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) Site Preparation

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. These photos were provided by Dennis Mialki who is an engineer and Habitat volunteer from Charlotte NC. He was in El Salvador for a couple of weeks before us and did a lot of logistical preparation for the 2011 Navidad en Acción Blitz Build. He has provided some photos of the properties before work started and the work that was done in preparation for our arrival in Guadalupe on November 21.
