Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog!


Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog. Whether you came here because you know me or happened across one of my birdhouses, I hope you'll enjoy my project as much as I do.

I enjoy painting birdhouses in my spare time. I ran out of friends and family to give them to, so I decided to start sending them around the world as friends, coworkers and acquaintances took trips. They send me back pictures of the birdhouse in its new locale, and it gets posted to the Google Photos album and Instagram accounts linked below.

The birdhouses always make people smile and bring a touch of whimsy to their new home.

If you're traveling somewhere and want to bring a birdhouse with you (or would like one for your home), email me at ProjectBirdhouse@gmail.com, and I can send you a birdhouse to help expand the project.

Enjoy!

Nueva Concepcion, Guatemala

John with Living Water International took a birdhouse with him when he went to Guatemala to drill/develop/install a clean water well.  The shallow, hand dug well in Nueva Concepcion was creating health issues throughout this community and now their community has a new source of clean water.  They also provided some hygiene training which will ensure improved health for the long term.



With Santos, the community leader who worked with Living Water International and who will take the birdhouse home to hang

Completed well, with the Living Water International team
