HH4PR School Rehab Project
A community resiliency center that will be a place of refuge in the case of a natural disaster or state of emergency, with an electronic library facilitating educational programs in emergency services, disaster relief, the arts, fine art and entrepreneurship. In addition, we will help provide a space for those in the gig economy. By implementing these programs, we will provide a space for the youth, further developing their creativity and spur their entrepreneurial spirit with their God given talents. It is our goal to make the school an example of how centers and schools can thrive off renewable energy, such as rainwater catchment systems and solar energy.

HH4PR Development Team
Helping Hands for Puerto Rico is seeking an innovative and motivated team to enhance
Antonio, Aguadilla. The park had been abandoned after the hurricanes and has not been in use. The purpose of this project is to empower the community to not only do their best for their physical, mental and spiritual access to quality education for the youth in Puerto Rico. These positions will directly assist in our efforts to improve distance learning educational opportunities during COVID-19, more specifically children that have been severely impacted by the earthquakes in Puerto Rico and do not have access to internet or electronic devices due to the lack of a physical school. Volunteers are being sought to research and write grants, fundraise and find donors with a desire to improve Puerto Rico's education.

Rescate Parque: Poblado San Antonio
Helping Hands for Puerto Rico rehabilitated a park for the community of San well-being within this space, but to also retain an understanding of how to cultivate land. We will accomplish this by creating a community garden at this location. Other uses of this space include fitness, personal use, events, flea markets and various other community uses. There are aspects of the park that still need repairs, such as playground and exercise equipment. Electricity is also a necessity. We will implement solar energy and rainwater harvesting to power the park. This park can be an example of how being self-sufficient has extreme benefits for the community and its members.
