2019 Middle East Holy Land Construction 1
Seeds of Hope, one of our global partners, identifies and engages in strategic construction projects in the local community. This team will participate in at least one of these projects, doing construction activities such as interior and exterior building, remodeling, maintenance, and painting projects. While the men on the team will focus on construction, female team members will assist teachers in the Seeds of Hope school and developing relationships with the women in the community.
We need six men who enjoy serving through manual labor (construction experience is a plus) and six women who enjoy teaching and developing relationships.

MEHL Team Building Half Day Required
What: We'll be outside the entire morning. We'll take a short hike, spend time at the Indian Seats, and enjoy time getting to know one another and learning about each other with activities from John's backpack of team building fun. Although we will be outside, we will not be out in the sun the entire time, as there are pavilions as well.
What to bring: Water, sunscreen, clothes you can hike in (not a grueling hike...more of a uphill trail walk. Close-toed shoes / sneakers
are better than Chacos).
Lunch: Will be provided.
