Projects

The Haiti ProjectProject Haiti
Is a multi-point endeavor to reach the homeless and hungry people living in Haiti.  This effort is being done at a "boots on the ground" grass roots, combination small business and faith-based initiative.  Currently projects are self funded by individuals and various groups made up of different denominations, missionaries, non-profit organizations and everyday people.  It has become clear that if any real sustainable progress is going to be made, it is going to be done by helping one person at time and educating them how to duplicate those efforts.

Hurricane Resistant Homes - Churches & Schools:
Currently we are putting together a project to build low cost housing, churches and schools that can sustain category 4 hurricanes and future major earthquakes up to a magnitude of 6.5.   The manufacturer states that greater durability may be achieved using reinforced materials but currently there is no engineer report to verify those strengths.  This particular project is being undertaken by the use of a Styrofoam Housing concept as developed by the Sun Rock Corporation located in Tarpon Springs, Florida (http://www.sun-rock.com).  The Sun Rock Corporation has been in existence since 1978.  

Socially, Economically and Environmentally Friendly:
The Styrofoam Home that is shown in the Sun Rock Homes video below, requires a minimal amount of experience or expertise to build making the Sun Rock product even more socially & economically friendly.  The building is environmentally green, will not mold, rot or rust.  Once their time proven trademarked coating is applied, the overall structure becomes extremely fire resistant and has lower toxicity than many wood products currently approved and used in home construction.
