Golden Oldie Jim donates carpentry tools to the Hope Homes project

Previous team members, Jim and Margaret, had an excess supply of high-quality hand-carpentry tools available. Unknowingly, last year we discovered a man called Alfred in Fiji who has a vision called ‘Hope Homes’.

‘Hope Homes’ vision is to train young men in constructing cyclone-proof, affordable houses, using mud bricks as the main material. But he needed hand tools to start this project. And this year these tools are on the plane with the team for this project.

Another remote village the Golden Oldies Mission team members visit that would benefit from the Hope Homes vision

On this mission, Golden Oldie Roger, hopes to use his years of expertise to encourage Alfred to help establish and develop this Hope Homes vision for Fiji.
