Habitat for Humanity El Salvador – 2008 Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) Handover Ceremony

Sonsonate, El Salvador – 2008. The Habitat for Humanity Global Village project site is located on the outskirts of Sonsonate, El Salvador in a small village called Piedras Pachas. Sonsonate is a small city situated West of San Salvador. At the end of the Navidad en Acción blitz week there was a formal ceremony to hand over the houses to their new owners. After several speeches thanking all the volunteers and everyone else in sight each of the owners was presented with a key and a bible and a ribbon was cut to open the first house. It was a very emotional ceremony for all the families and volunteers.
