This village is very special for me. I had the opportunity to meet many of the village people this year, work along side them, and to see just how humble these people are. For most of the people who live here, this is the first time they have owned anything. They now own their own homes and can never be asked to leave.
1 year ago, all the homes in San Andreas (~162) looked like this.
1 year later, the homes are now block and the streets are almost completed.
Don't I look like a supervisor?
Look at those hard working people..

Everyone in the village help with the construction of the new church, even the kids.
This is the current church.
This will be the new church.
The new church.

WOO! Girl power!!! he he
I went to San Lucas in June of 2007 and again in 2008, and San Andres was one of the places that left me with the strongest impression at the end of the trip. It's amazing to look through another person's photos of the same please and read about your experience. Not sure if you've travelled there lately, but in 2007 when I went to San Andres, the community had just gotten running water and in 2008 they were setting the houses up to have electric lighting inside.
