6月29日CNN聽力：非營利構造贊助墨西哥蒂華納改革衡宇
AZUZ: Paula Claussen couldn't accept what she sawjust outside Tijuana, Mexico. Lean-tos, where somepeople are living, were blown right over by highwinds, rats, tarantulas and scorpions could walk rightinto some of the makeshift homes there.
This is according to Project Mercy, a nonprofit thatClaussen founded in 1991. It's changing lives in theregion one house at a time.
PAULA CLAUSSEN, CNN HERO: San Diego is one of the wealthiest cities in the States. Butjust right across the border, it's a different world.
In the outskirts of Tijuana, there is no running water, no sewage system. The floors are dirtand vermin crawl under the walls. It's hard for Americans to imagine.
Twenty-five years ago, I went to just donate clothes and I was shocked. I knew I had to dosomething to try to help them.
I started an organization that builds homes for people in need free of charge.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): It leaked everywhere.
CLAUSSEN: The water comes through.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): The house does not have a door. It's very unsafe. It'spretty difficult to live like this.
CLAUSSEN: This is so dangerous, all these wires.
In order to receive a house, we require that families work in the construction of a house withtheir neighbors.
Volunteers from California come down to build. They come away with a totally different attitude.It creates a bond.
We have developed a house that is sturdy, which can be built in one day.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (translated): No more cold, no more rain. It's safer.
CLAUSSEN: These are our neighbors. To see the joy and the relief on their faces, that givesme the energy to continue.
