We have begun architectural planning for a pre-existing building
on a property nextdoor. The new floor plan calls for four
individual apartement type rooms, complete with kitchenette,
bathroom and bedroom for two. This will be the future home
for 8 boys while attending the program here. We've been given
a great price for the 1.5 acre land and the building but we
still need to raise the funds to finalize the deal. The estimated
cost, for the property and for remodeling the building, is
$45,000 USD. If you'ld like to be a part of this project by
donating or by sending a work team please contact Jon Haslett
at Jon@ninosdelaluz.org.

Plans are now under way for developing a large scale
project at the Ranch. We'll be building and maintaining a
huge chicken coupe to house 3,000 egg-laying chickens. This
will help the Ranch become more self-sustaining by bringing
in up to 50% of their current financial expenses.
