If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labour - Psalm 127
Pennies for Peace Project St. Theresa and St. Christopher Parishes Tiverton Rhode Island
Our project begins: World Peace Day, January 1, 2006
Bring your loose change and put it into our "House of Peace" located at the back of the church.
Let's see how many houses we can build and how many lives we can change forever...
About the project: Many of the poor in the Philippines live in leaky homes patched together with sheet metal, plastic, and scraps of wood. For $2,000 a house can be built that includes a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, and two small bedrooms. The new homes provide poor families with security and a new foundation for rebuilding their lives. Each village also includes a community center with a health clinic, a preschool, a tutoring program, and a vocational education program. For more details, please click here.

Thank you!
Our final tally is $2,406.39. We have been able to provide one family with a roof over their head and begin another house. Thanks to all who contributed!
