Puerto Rico - January 21-28, 2024 Are you looking for a way to help others, gain a sense of community, and expand your spirituality? Consider joining St. Francis Builds in partnership with SBP (www.sbpusa.org) in Puerto Rico as we continue to repair and rebuild homes that were destroyed by the hurricanes. We will be forming our team in the next several weeks. Construction skills are most appreciated, but not necessary as we will have knowledgeable people there to guide and train us. Cost per person will be $1250.00 plus airfare. We have some scholarship money available if needed. For more information or to request an application, please contact Rafael Quinones at [email protected] or 301-661-0274 or Christine Quinones at [email protected] or 301-661-0567.
