“I am humbled and honored to be selected to assist in leading this organization.  To date this organization has provided safe homes for more than 720 families. My hope is that we stay the course and expand our reach in providing homes to poor families in Guatemala.”  –James Bellis, Board President, “From House to Homes”.
