Building Goodness Foundation Kicks Off Building Blitz

Posted: Updated:

Charlottesville's Building Goodness Foundation is kicking off another building blitz for 2012.

They are sending two teams to Haiti Friday. The group is building a trade school, a primary school and at least 50 houses. To get the work done, a number of volunteers are needed. Trips are planned throughout the year.

Kelly Eplee of the Building Goodness Foundation said, "We feel like there are a lot of people who are experienced and who know what they're doing. They know it's a safe trip and that it will be very rewarding."

Wednesday marked the two-year anniversary of the earthquake that rocked the country. It is estimated that 300,000 Haitians still live in tents.
