We have over 300 projects we are working on in Jamaica. I think we have over 150 chicken coops that need to be built. All of the participants (member of the church or not) have to take several hours of classwork to learn about raising chickens, marketing, and the upkeep of the coop. After they have completed their coarse, we come out and help lay the building out and help square the building for them. Most people here have no idea about how to build a square building. Members of the branch come and finish the building and those that finished their project are expected to help those that came and helped them. We found out that most of the members here have never really associated with other members that much. These projects make it so they have a lot of association with each other and get to meet their neighbors. This picture shows several members and non-members digging footings for the little coop.
