PYONGYANG, North Korea ? A group of Americans is in North Korea to kick off a project to build 50 homes for families working at a tree farm outside Pyongyang.
Six volunteers affiliated with the Fuller Center for Housing arrived Tuesday. Their trip comes at a time of improving relations between the U.S. and North Korea.
The 50-unit project will house the families of workers at a tree nursery in Osan-ri.
Participants with the nonprofit Fuller Center say they'll be working side by side with North Koreans to build the homes.
They're aiming to finish three homes this week, and other volunteers are expected to arrive in coming months to help complete the project.
In Americus, Georgia, Fuller Center President David Snell called the project a "true mission of peace."
The United States and North Korea fought on opposite sides of the Korean War and do not have diplomatic relations. Diplomats from the two countries recently held talks about resuming six-nation nuclear disarmament talks.
