CWS Hotline - Week of 20/12/99: Hurricane Mitch reconstruction program looks ahead
A year after Hurricane Mitch ripped through
Central America, Church World Service and partner organizations the Council
of Evangelical Churches (CEPAD) in Nicaragua and the Christian Commission
for Development (CCD) in Honduras have announced that the Hurricane Mitch
reconstruction program will continue through March of 2001. Already, more
than 80 volunteer construction teams have begun or completed more than
1,000 new homes in Honduras and Nicaragua so far this year. Another 101
teams are scheduled into 2000. Any groups interested in participating in
this important work in Honduras or Nicaragua may contact the Hurricane
Mitch Mission Team office at 1-888-283-6113 for more information.
Church World Service has provided more than $1,457,000 in bulk food, Gift of the Heart Health and Baby Kits, medicines, blankets and tools, and funds for the purchase of blankets and other emergency supplies to partners in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala since the devastation of Mitch.
