The group of 22 teenagers and adults went to Tijuana to build two homes for families who own land but don’t have the means to build a home. Most in this group have never built a house before, but none of that matters, they just have to be willing to make a difference. “ I just love serving, this is about having purpose,” said volunteer Xavier Peralez. “It's a really cool opportunity because we get to spread the love of Jesus, “ another volunteer, Ashland Aiken, said. The volunteers are building two homes. One is for the Alvarez Chavez family. Joel Chávez says it’s expensive to buy materials and to pay for labor to build a home. According to the Mexican government website, about 28% of the Tijuana population live in poverty and almost 2% live in extreme poverty.
