More about John Edwards at the Fuller Center in El Salvador


The Fuller Center has posted pictures of JRE's visit in El Salvador. According to the website:

Mr. Edwards is meeting with the Fuller Center’s director of operations in El Salvador, Mike Bonderer, and Fuller Center President David Snell to talk about housing for the poor.

On Tuesday, Mr. Bonderer, Mr. Snell and Mr. Edwards met with the head of the El Salvador Assembly (U.S. Congress equivalent) to discuss housing and poverty issues. This week, they will visit the Fuller Center build site, where six new housing units are in the works, to meet with homeowners and volunteers. Mr. Edwards will also help with construction toward the end of the week.

350 homes have already been built in cooperation with Homes from the Heart.

BW readers probably know Elizabeth mentioned this on the Today Show and on Larry King Live last night.

Good to see JRE doing something meaningful when it comes to poverty awareness.

John Edwards Off to El Salvador

I just learned that JRE is off to El Salvador to do some work with the Fuller Center. The Fuller Center is a faith-based center that works on housing for the poor worldwide, and they are finishing a housing building blitz.

I'm glad to see that John is still on raising awareness about global poverty and what private-public partnerships are available.

This is a gift for all.
