My name is Leopoldina Bolaños Avelino and for many years I lived in a humble house made of wood reeds and other materials. My kids were in danger because we experimented difficult situations every time we had rain or winds: our belongings went dirty or wet, even my cornfield because we did not have resources to build a decent roof or at least good walls. Have good walls and a good roof was like a dream; one day Mr. Fidel Garcia leader of the Mexcala Community talked to 15 families because he knew about the Habitat for Humanity program and the opportunity to own a house. We all approved and this was the solution for all of us. I began to support my fellows, went to meetings and we had the joy to meet Elvira Flores Barriga, we thank her because we could not own a house without her support. As I told her, to build a house made of walls was just a dream and now that I have a Habitat house our life has completely changed. I am full of joy because we also have a Patsari Stove and I am able to feed my kids properly. We will always grateful to Habitat for Humanity because I have a healthier and better life. Sincerely, Leopoldina Bolaños Avelino. Javier García Bolaños. Gerardo García Bolaños. Bernabé García Bolaños”.

Felipa Cuéllar Mendoza (Patsari Stove & Complete House) “My name is Felipa Cuéllar Mendoza. I was living in a very difficult situation because my house was made of wood reeds. My family was suffering a lot every rainy season, during hurricane´s times and we also had insects like scorpions. We had this opportunity because our leader Fidel García Basurto told us about a solution: to own a house just if we go to workshops and join a housing program. One day we met Elvira Flores Barriga and she told us about how to promote confidence between the families willing to work in self-construction methodology. I went to different meetings and workshops and I own now a Habitat house. My life has changed because I have a good house with two bedrooms and made of good material. I also have a Patsari Stove , a bathroom and better doors and windows. My kids are secure and we do not worry about the weather conditions. We are very grateful to Habitat.

Everything changed when we learned many things from Habitat. We began attending meetings and finally decided to join the program because for us it was a great opportunity to make our dream come true. The program gave us support and was an opportunity that we could not miss and decided to request for a non profit credit. We formed a group in the community and little by little we started to build houses. We were really happy to see that this was a reality. When we finished all the houses, we made a party and every member was very happy and excited because our dreams made come true. I do not have words to express my gratitude.

We went to the Habitat office and asked for information and Elvira Flores Barriga told us about the mission and methodology.

We are happy to own a house like this and a Patsari Stove. This is the healthiest option for our family. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving us health, safety, protection.. We will be always grateful. Sincerely, Francisca García León”. Francisca´s husband, Fidel is the leader of the Mexcala community. Fidel knew the work of Habitat because some friends were building their house in another community and they asked his help in some activities. This young couple decided to talk to the people and decided to form a group interested on get a Habitat house. Fidel spoke clearly and asked for responsible, committed and hard worker families. Only a few remained because they did not believe in Habitat and once they began the construction´s process of the houses, Fidel told to the future homeowners that they will be able to paint the front of their houses using Nopal Cactus Paint. Now that the houses are built, many of those families that did not trust in Habitat are looking the way to form a new group.

We look for him, asked how he get support and finally he took us to the Habitat office, met Elvira and she gave us a very detailed explanation, we decided to ask for a non profit credit but at that time we were not approved because the homeowners of Huamuxtitlan community were not paying the mortgage so future homeowners of this community should wait for a while. We waited a year until we were officially members of Habitat. We were really happy when the construction started and when we finished or house, was a total relief because all our worries were gone.
