The Carpenters Lend a Helping Hand in Haiti

A trip to Haiti to build houses turned into a life changing adventure for four carpenters from Ontario’s carpenters’ union.

Mike Yorke, Carlos Pimentel, Ucal Powell and Carmelo Castiglione travelled to Leogane, Haiti to work on houses for Habitat for Humanity with the Jimmy Carter Foundation. The initiative was in collaboration with Architecture for Humanity.

The crew built 12 feet by 12 feet houses made of wood, stucco and corrugated tin roofs during their one week stay in November.
