On Saturday, March 27, twelve Jacksonville area residents representing Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville (HabiJax) travelled to Tucurrique, Cartago, Costa Rica to work with Habitat para la Humanidad Costa Rica. We worked to build a house for a family with three children. Here is an account of our time in Costa Rica and some pictures of our experiences.
