Building homes, building lives!!!
Yes I have worked on numerous Habitat homes in VA, IL and in CT!!! I've been involved with Habitat since 1996 (before I crossed) and have stayed committed with it. I am presently the chairperson for the Habitat for Humanity committee for my chapter. Every 3 months or so we work on homes throughout the greater Hartford area and it's very rewarding. Right now we are working on one home (family of 10!!!!) so that way we can be there to work on the house from beginning to end while having a positive impact on the family and their children.
It's very important that we (African Americans) get involved with an organization like Habitat since a majority of the recipients are of color yet the organization and its volunteers are predominately white.
Ok, done with my soapbox!!!!
