However, only the bathroom has been completed. The whole family of eight shares one room. It is very difficult for Gjulijeta and her sisters, Xhuliana and Laura (also in the Corner Stone program), as space and privacy are at a minimum; they are praying that soon God will provide the means to finish the home.
