Rodney Johnson's Shelter in Port au Prince was built during March, 2010. He and his family used to live in Haiti and stated a Church and a Bible College there, and this shelter was built on that property. It will later be used a school rooms. Construction of "Kay Espwa" (House of Hope) shows how a simple earthbag house was built in Haiti. The team was asked to design and build an earthbag house as a prototype in Mizak. The request specified a one room house with porch. Earthbag House in Mizak Haiti for Saint Rose describes with photos and text how a subsequent home was build, with some changes to how the walls were stabilized and the bags compacted. Bois Marchand Earthbag House is a simple earthbag structure built by the Haiti Christian Development Project in about a week by 7 laborers. It follows many of the recommended techniques you will find at this site. Barrels of Hope's First Earthbag House is a PDF slide presentation with text explaining how they built their first small house in Haiti. Children of Hope School shows the beginning work of building a school in Leogane, Haiti, under the direction of Matt Gunn. This Community Center in Peru was constructed by a team of volunteers of the organization Pisco Sin Fronteras from November 2010 to January 2011. The Rasin Foundation Medical Clinic in rural Petite-Riviere, Leogane, Haiti, will have four exam rooms (including a dental suite), a treatment/surgical room, nurses station, waiting room, storage and bathroom. At Bangnol, we went in the two new earthbag houses nearing completion (and enjoyed the 10-15 degree cooler temperatures). These are two-room houses that are bigger, have better ventilation and cooling than our first house. Thus far, they have cost about $1850 each to build, and we feel confident that their final cost projects to be under $2000. |
