Have you ever built a Habitat House?

I am the treasurer for my campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. That said, I have a good time with the other people in the club, and all the other volunteers we meet.

A group of six drove to a house site up north and we managed to get a whole house vinyl sided in one day. We were tired as all get out but when I went to the Beverages for Adults Retailer that evening, my purchases had never tasted so good.

My PR person is working with me to invite the NPHC/NALFO/MCGLO folks to come give a hand. The best part of having our own campus club is the great amount of people we meet that we may not have met otherwise, campus and community wide.

I've been involved with Habitat nonstop since 1989. I started out bringing the builders/volunteers water and sandwiches and it has gotten to the point where I help with the carpentry work. I don't have a problem with doing any part at all with house as long as I am trained since I know that they are going to bring in specialists to clean up what the volunteers have done (from painting, to windows, to floorwork).

Anyone who participates with Habitat is going to enjoy themselves and will be very gratified with the work they've done because there is going to be a finished product you can look at. In addition, the sweat-equity/financial seminars and budgeting workshops that go on between the future homeowners and the organization is amazing.

I've participated in Habitat for Humanity and it was cool b/c I made some new friends and met people (none of my other friends wanted to do it with me). The first time was ridiculous because it was like a thousand degrees outside and they had me and 2 other people underneath the house putting in the installation. I was itchin' all over. But after it was over, we got to meet the woman and her little girl who would be living in the house and it made it all worth it (not to mention the free lunch we got ). The second time I remember I had a lot of fun. We painted the interior of a house and I helped mow a lawn for the first time. I really wanted to do habitat this year, but this year has been so stressed for me, it's impossible.

I helped out with habitat before I was a Delta. I had read a website (BeeJae's to be exact) that said if you didn't know any Delta's in your area, it was because you weren't out in the community working! Sure enough I met some Delta's when I started helping with HFH. I did the down and dirty stuff...I like that...I'm a tomboy at heart!

HFH is my favorite service project. We do it at least twice a year.
