Habitat for Humanity

Our week working with Habitat was succh a great experience We met some of the nicest people and were very appreciated for our help. We were astounded with the number of volunteers that showed up and it seemed it wasn't long they had us all organized into different groups, painters, roofers, landscaperes, caulkers, builders, site cleanup, and organizers to hand out tools. Purple house is finished and in an area where the houses are all new in an area called Musicians Village. It is quite different from the site we worked at Tues-Fri. It was an area where they were building new houses here and there among really dilapitated, ruined flood homes. I find it hard to believe people will move into the only new house in the neighborhood and feel comfortable doing that. But they are slated to build 1,500 new houses as soon as is humanly possible just with Habitat volunteers. It's a good organization and I wish more people would sign up to give their time and talents.
