Guatemala

Meet a family that’s moving into a Habitat for Humanity house in Guatemala and help make their home sturdy by using the proper materials and construction.

Did you know earthquakes are fairly common in Guatemala? How does this change the way homes must be built? From big earthquakes in the past, builders have learned how homes must be constructed to stay standing even when earthquakes occur.

In Imagine a House Guatemala, workers are needed to side the walls with concrete blocks. To make the house strong, be sure to:

• Load the wheelbarrow to carry materials
• Stack the blocks to build the house
• Test the shake table and see if your structure stays standing
