| Rick Alvarado of Laticrete International
donated several days to work with Habitat volunteers
and new homeowners in Rio Bravo, Texas, to install
tile in new Habitat homes. Habitat for Humanity
of Laredo/Webb County asked TPFH partners for tile
because the homes are part of a neighborhood that
rests on the US/Mexican border just south of Laredo.
As a result, conditions are extremely hot, dry
and dusty, and homeowners recognized the ease of
maintenance and durability associated with ceramic
tile. Master Tile donated tile for four of the
six homes and Bricks & Tile International,
with a presence in Laredo, donated tile for two
homes. |
