It is cliché to say, but a picture truly can say a thousand words. The following videos and photos will give you a much better sense of the incredible men, women and children we've been blessed to encounter in El Salvador, as well as the incredible faith they have and the joy they've shared with us.

Cacho de Oro Site Survey Trip 2006:
This mountain-top village hadn't a regular supply of water since an earthquake five years earlier. After all conventional avenues had been exhausted, these villagers turned to SCTHP. We felt called to help this village in its plight, but we needed to see first-hand (and in advance of the trip) what we'd agreed to.

Cacho de Oro Water Project 2006:
This mountain-top village hadn't a regular supply of water since an earthquake five years earlier. In an extremely challenging project, SCTHP missionaries installed a complete watering system and restored running water to an extremely grateful population.

Mizata Housing Project 2006:
The two-room brick housing project was expanded in Mizata in July 2006 to include two more homes.
