[http://www.empowered.org/El-Canton-Health-Center–Raise-the-Roof-4](http://www.empowered.org/El-Canton-Health-Center--Raise-the-Roof-4) Please take a look at how you can help to finish the roof of the El Canton Centro de Salud, one of two major projects currently under construction through Global Architecture Brigades Honduras, by the end of 2013. We are starting a global online campaign to move closer towards finishing this important structure for over 10 communities (providing healthcare access to over 4,000 people) in the El Paraíso department of Honduras.

The roof will be made with a combination of wood planking support and sheet metal panels in a stepped roof style to provide ample ventilation and light. The roofing style will be similar to that of one of our finished schools, see this article for more information: [http://www.designboom.com/architecture/global-architecture-brigades-posits-a-new-model-of-holistic-development/](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/global-architecture-brigades-posits-a-new-model-of-holistic-development/) Let’s make this roof a reality and spread the word among your chapters and your friends this summer to boost the construction of GAB’s first health center! ### Written By: Global Brigades Every brigade, project, and local partnership fits within this framework, ensuring short-term interventions are an essential part of longer-term, community-led progress. It’s all designed to work together, immediate support, fueling sustainable systems change. ## You May Also Like ### [![Help over 4,000 community members receive healthcare access!](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/5_5-El-Jute-inauguration-July-2015-1-1-1024x530-Nov-01-2021-09-23-13-14-PM.jpg) *Mar 27, 2018, 3:54:28 PM | From the Field* Global Brigades and The UN Sustainable Development Goals](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/empowered-100) ### [![Help over 4,000 community members receive healthcare access!](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/DSC_0899-300x200-4.jpg) *Feb 6, 2012, 12:17:06 PM | From the Field* First Ever Health and Hygiene Fair a Success!](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/first-ever-health-and-hygiene-fair-a-success) ### [![Help over 4,000 community members receive healthcare access!](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/empowered-11-3.png) *May 26, 2011, 8:04:17 AM | Brigader Buzz* Position Available with Empowered.org](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/position-available-with-empowered-org) [Learn More](https://www.example.com) [![Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg?width=250&height=108&name=Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg "Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2")](https://www.globalbrigades.org/) 1099 E Champlain Dr., Ste A176 , Fresno, California [tel:](tel:) © Global Brigades.
