This is a real hands-on project where you help with everything from making sun dried bricks, to painting outside walls. The best bit is seeing the results of your work as you help families move into their new homes, or watch students attend the first day at their new school.

Cost: $1155 for 1 week.
Dates: Please call for exact start dates.
