Rebuilding the Casa Verde



Having a place to house guests, and volunteers, was an important need for Stibrawpa.  In January 2009 they began building this new "Casa Verde" with some of the wood that they were able to recover from the old one that was knocked down by the flood waters.  The first guests stayed overnight in the new Casa Verde in March 2009.  There are six rooms, each with an attached bathroom, and it can house up to 15 people.
