Last November’s AmCham Thanksgiving Charity Dinner raised a record breaking NOK 92 900 for charitable partner New Story. With home construction cost  at approximately $6,500, the contribution was not only enough to build a home for the Guzman Family, but also a new home for a second family in El Salvador.

This second home has now been allocated to Sandra Janeth Sanchez and her two little boys, Jonathan (7) and Gerardo (2). She is a single mother who works as a grocer to provide for her family of three. This new home and safe neighborhood will provide them security, dignity and hope for the future.
