LADRILLO A LADRILLO: Video and Song of Building houses in El Sauce, Nicaragua with 4 WALLS PROJECT of Rochester, NY www.journeysofsolutions.org

English translation of Ladrillo a Ladrillo:

It's January in El Sauce, eighty-five degrees Juan and Juanita and her friends play games in the neighborhood We North Americans are here to help build a new house,  With four brick walls, four brick walls 

Now, some families, with ten or more people, live in houses made ​​of tarps with holes in the roofs. When it rains the adobe walls begin to crumble, then these families are sad and humiliated 

REFRAIN:  

Brick by brick, board by board, Strong hands together, we build a home while building trust and a bond in our hearts, hearts and home 

All of us, the children, and the neighbors work in the heat, Pepe, the chief mason, puts us to work with a smile. He says," Cut the cables, hose the bricks, dig a trench here,"  We are happy while we are working all day 

Juan and Juanita’s family soon has a home Sturdy and strong with a door and a window  When it rains in October, they will not have to worry at all because once and for all, their home is safe and warm.
