Bill Fairman went with 41 other entrepreneurs to Mexico recently to build two homes in two days. No plumbing, but they did wire them for electricity.
The children are always smiling and happy.
They rehabbed a hotel in Ensinada.
Youth With a MIssion - 18-20 year olds.

Hi everyone. Bill Fairman, Carolina Capital Management here.
Welcome to the show. I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about a wonderful
opportunity that I had with Scott Myers, his lovely wife, Christina, and puts
together a group to do a mission trip in Ensinada Mexico once a year. And this
mission trip is sponsored by a group called Youth with a Mission. And for
short, it's YWAM and you can get information. YWAM.org and their, their mission
obviously is the, they are a Christian based group. Their mission is to spread
the word, but what they do, which is really helpful. And in the third world
countries and they are, they have bases all over the world, but they're trying
to do what they can to break the cycle of poverty by providing housing that
safe for the children and the families. So that next generation, can grow up
with, you know, the thought of, yes, I can do it.

And as long as they are in a safe environment where they
have at least a concrete floor instead of a dirt floor, it is easier for the
kids to study. And get an education and better themselves when they know that
they are, they have a nice home to go to versus some of the things you will see
in some of the pictures. And I'm going to show here in just a moment, but it
was an awesome trip we built, there was 42 of us on this trip. We flew into San
Diego, we have chartered a bus from there, so it goes down to Ensinada. It was
a beautiful ride too along the coast. So you have these beautiful mountains and
then the Pacific ocean, a nice deep and blue to look out on. I tell you when
you get you go into another country like that, it really makes you appreciate
what you have.

what you have.
And the homes along the coast are these big giant mansions
and then you see these little shacks and some of them you cannot even call
shacks going back towards the, towards the East, away from, from the ocean. But
one thing that struck me was the children, they are always smiling and happy to
be there and it was just an awesome trip. So I'm going to share some pictures
and let you guys see for yourself here. So this is the base camp. They, this
particular base camp was a hotel in Ensinada and they have taken it and they
are rehabbing it. So you can see they have still got scaffolding up kind of a,
I forget what you call that color, but it's kind of a peach looking. That is
where the offices are, the kitchen, all that, where the scaffolding is, or our
rooms, they have some rooms that are set up for families, but most of the rooms
are set up.

And again, this is Youth with a Mission. So they are
typically 18 to 20 something year olds. Each room has four bunk beds and three
bathrooms. Really nice. Just, just been completed for the most part. They are
beautifully designed. And we all had, every morning we met here for breakfast.
And as you can see, that tent in the back right back here, we had a buffet
breakfast. And then every evening we met back here for a buffet dinner as well.
And surprisingly enough, it was Mexican food. All right. So here's the slab we
started with and I know what you are thinking when you are looking at these
pictures. Wow. This is what most people parked at our lawnmower in. And yes, it
is basically the size of a larger workshop or a tool shed. And most of the
homes were, you know, we are from, so we just finished framing the walls and we
put the signing up.

We built two homes in two days. Now they do not have any
running water. There was no plumbing in here. So we are able to get these homes
up quickly and without having to deal with any plumbing issues. But we did wire
all of them for electricity. they have lights, a front porch light, ceiling
lights, and they're going to be a two bedroom with a front living space, dining
room, kitchen, living room area in the front. So you have lights, you have
outlets. Each one has three windows and a door for cross breezes. folks here
are paying cash for their land. It's costing them about 1500 to $2,000 to buy
these little plots of land that they're living on. So here is another angle in
the home. My job was operating the chop saw most of the time. And I was also
wiring, the electrical. I did some other stuff as well. Again, this house to
the left was built by the same mission a couple of years ago.

So we built the two houses. We split up into two groups.
So we had a red team and a blue team. And I was on the red team, so we had, you
know, 20 folks here working on this at a time, which was really fun because we
kept banging in each other. I took this picture specifically because I wanted
you to see how they recycled down there. So this fence post is a big giant PVC
pipe, beaten into the ground. And then the rest of these, as you can see, are
just trees. Sticks essentially driven into the ground. And if you look out
here, you don't see any trees. So they had this Gavin's for that too. But if
you will notice what the fence is made out of, these are inner coil springs
from an old mattress. But Hey, it makes a really good fence. Then, this is the
house that was on the premises still there. So inside it is pretty basic. We
just drywall, we paint. We did cut out of the drywall here in the kitchen
between the wood here and add shelves. Now the back of this is painted, but
this is just the drywall from the bedroom on the other side of the wall. But
it's a nice little added touch.

We also went to the stores and purchased some furniture
forms, some bunk beds, some dining room table. We had a, a kitchen cabinet type
of thing, but they have no running water. So what we had to do with the sink
was put in a plug underneath. So you would bring in your bucket of water, you
would pour it into the sink, you would do the washing that you would need. The
bucket then goes underneath the cabinet and then you pull the plug and the, the
dirty water goes back into the bucket and then you can take it out. This is a,
the father of two boys. He has two girls as well. This is me and this is a part
of the group we were with. So this is the finish house. You can see we have
vents up here in the top and that helps with the ventilation as well. But the
house ends up with some nice little extras. We threw some shutters in here, a
little little porch over hanging. We use the wood that we had. This was were
the leftover two by fours that we cut to make a little stoop for them. Again,
you are thinking that is not much. Here's the little girls. This is one of the
neighbors. You can see they got more paint on themselves and they did on the
walls.

This and why I was saying it is a, what we are building is
not much, but look at what they were living in. This is a wood structure and it
is just covered in plastic, mud floors. There's their stove. They do have
electricity as you can see over here. So they got an outlet. But yeah, not the
greatest place for kids to grow up as a family of four living in here. And here
is just an example of some of the other structures that people are living in.
So if you guys ever get a chance to do some mission work, I'm telling you, you
should take it up, volunteer and we could have easily just written a check. But
I felt like I needed to get a little bit more involved. I really appreciate
that because now it makes me really appreciate the, what I thought I had
problems.

problems.
They are just annoyances. We have first-world problems.
They have third world problems. And these people were so grateful that they
have what they have now. And again, I was just blown away by how happy and
smiling the children were all the time. Even when they are living in these
areas, they don't, they don't know any better. So again, youth with a mission,
they'll take, you know, monetary donations as well, but you can volunteer to
any other places. You do not have to build houses. You can just go and be the
ones that are fixing the meals for the people that are building the homes and
take a week to go somewhere, spend two or three days there and then and always
vacation a few days in one of those resort cities as well. So I highly
recommend it. So that is what I have for now. Again, thanks to Scott Myers and
Christina for inviting me. I'm going to do it again next year. If anybody wants
to join us. Please contact me at CarolinaHardMoney.com. Again, please like and
share. We are going to have other videos up and above some other content as
well. Thank you so much for doing this.
