We are moving quickly

The class is divided into six teams. Each team will take care of a different aspect of the project. There will be a “Finance Team” who will keep track of donations and all the monetary aspects of the project. A “Logistics Team” will make sure everything runs smoothly on site. This will include making sure we feed our volunteers, making sure all the tools are available when needed, and insuring that we are all working safely. There are four teams that will look at the improvements to the home. “Caleb’s Needs” are first on our list and we have some really resourceful students looking at how we can enhance his life. There is a group looking at how we might “Add Space” to the house. There are several options that we are exploring including adding a bedroom or even a separate secondary dwelling. The third team will look at the “Outside” of the house. This will include landscaping and possible cost savings through sustainable activities like solar power and gardening. The final group is looking at ways we might spruce up the “Interior” including new paint and possibly new floor coverings.

All this will depend on the contributions of the local community. We are very happy to have our first commitment from J Carroll to provide T-shirts for the class, the family, and the volunteers.
