Other Work in Haiti: Nolan Scheid


Rebuilding Haiti- starting with a stucco wall.

This is not my typical entry, but I think many of you will like to see some of the progress that other groups in Haiti are making towards rebuilding.
Our friend Nolan Scheid from Eugene builds stucco sprayers that are helping in Port-au-Prince. He sent the stucco sprayers to a church in Haiti that had their whole compound demolished in the quake. The first step was to rebuild a stucco wall around the property. It took 4 days of hard work but the volunteers made wonderful progress. Soon they will be rebuilding the structures with similar methods. This could be a secure and simple way to rebuild.
Nolan will be updating the page with their progress as they share more pictures. He hopes that it will grow into a "How to Rebuild Haiti" page that will help others with ideas for reconstruction.
