Habitat for Humanity
Hey guys!
Good news! Our class just met with the Construction Coordinator for our local “Habitat for Humanity” program. Since we will be participating in this program as one of our CAS projects, Ms. Kristen has provided us with the registration forms necessary to begin working!
Before we get started, however, we had to learn a little about the program itself.
First of all, it’s international. People around the globe will be working for the same goals that we’re working towards. These goals include building housing (of course), providing low cost living with repayable loans (that always helps), and helping educate families about housing and life management skills (house maintenance and budgeting). Secondly, it's non-profit. That means that their workforce is made up of volunteers and almost all of the donations go into building materials and land purchase.
Near the end of the presentation, Ms. Kristen informed us about the requirements to own one of the Habitat houses:
Our first day on the building site is next week! Wish us luck!
