Your talents make a difference
Floyd Hoffman, Maintenance & Facilities
Do you dream of making a difference?
Last night the El Sauzal Foundation, Inc. held its quarterly board meeting. One of those reporting was Floyd Hoffman, an experienced contractor from Auburn, Washington. Floyd first visited the Orphanage two years ago. He stayed a week, designing and building a large garage. The trip was moving to him; he returned last summer for another week of work. He had only been in El Sauzal for a day when he approached us with his dream.
He told us how he had been thinking for several years of how to use his building skills. As he approached retirement, he was wondering how he could invest in the lives of others in a meaningful way. The first trip to the Orphanage piqued his interest. Now he was ready to commit. He volunteered to take on the daunting job of organizing the maintenance and planning of the Orphanage grounds.
In January, Floyd drew up blue prints of the entire Orphanage property. Now he is contacting visiting groups, organizing them and the work projects they’ll be doing. He is working with several other skilled men who have previously volunteered at the Orphanage. Working together with the Orphanage leadership, they have big plans for the grounds.
We can’t wait to see where their dreams take them!
