summer of my junior year in high school me and a group of kids my age went doen into tijuana to build a home for a woman who needed it... habitat for humanity type thing. now you hafta understand there's no reliable water and no electricity, so we hadta pack everything in (except water that was brought down in a tanker truck, but still in very short supply) and do all the work by hand... no powertools at all. in the timeframe of a week we moved this woman, her brother, and her six kids out of a garden shed (literally) and into a real home. talk about some warm fuzzies. it was trip well worth making.
