In July of 2006 a group of 12 volunteers went to the Emmanuel Orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico to rebuild part of the building that had collapsed. Not only were repairs made, but the vision for Building Hope International began. The vision – to help those in need by using our construction skills.

          Surveying the damage and making a plan.                                    Four days later...Phase 1 is complete.

                                                                                                                                       Since that time the vision has grown. We don’t want to be limited to construction, so we have expanded our vision to include other ways to help. In the future we will be planning trips that include delivering food staples, water filters and well drilling. This will be mostly in foreign countries, but we also want to build a disaster relief team that we can call on to help in areas that are hit by natural disasters in the U.S.
