Induction Mission
Construction Mission - The purpose of the construction mission is to improve the living conditions of these Belizeans through the building of new houses, painting of existing houses or making improvements in the school or other community buildings. The houses are small by U.S. standards but represent a significant improvement in the shelter provided to the families in this hurricane prone area. A small (16x20) concrete block and stucco (CBS) house costs only about $5,000 and the larger (18x24) CBS house is less than $6,000. The family provides sweat equity in building their own house or one for another family.
A coat of paint on a house that has never been painted or a fresh coat on a badly weathered house not only brightens the appearance of the village but also brightens the spirit of the occupants. This spirit has turned out to be contagious. Many villagers who could afford some paint have joined in the effort to brighten the village by painting their own house. http://www.missiontobelize.org/node/211
