In loving memory of my Dad, John Flynn, who dedicated his life to the 'hotdogs' of S.H. Armstrong Recreation Centre.

FRANKLIN'S NEW ROOF

In the video above you will find a short interview with a little boy named Franklin.  I have mentioned in the blog previously that the conditions of Franklin's entire home are the worst conditions I have ever seen in in my days in Playa Oeste.  See the before photos of the holes the size of baseball's in the corrugated tin roof over Franklin's head where he sleeps. Our faithful friends from the Good Sheperd Church in Englehart wanted to sponsor a home repair just after the hurricane. Rain used to be Franklin's worst worry, but thanks to the Good Sheperd, Franklin now sleeps well and dry, see the after photos of the makeover roof below.  

This photo of Franklin himself was taken in his kitchen, you can see the floor consists of dirt and stones.  Our next repair will be the roof on kitchen side of the home, and the floor.  If you would like to help lay a new floor for Franklin and his family, or repair the remaining side of the roof, donations can be made through Paypal with the link at the top of the blog.
