Re volunteerism and Habitat:

We all share a universal gift that can be given anywhere regardless of circumstance, the gift of time. While funding, organization, administration and other factors are a part of the mix, the truly life changing donation is to spend time... an hour, a day, a weekend, a week, a month, or longer. Contributing in this way is where volunteering comes together. A Habitat build site is a level playing field where we simply become people working together, there because we choose to be, laughing, learning and loving a future home into existence one day at a time, building family and community in those same shared moments. Habitat is about people versus poverty, about working together to open the doorway to dreams... and as we connect, there is that deep knowing that regardless of culture, background, belief or circumstance, we are one family in the world. As we invest in each other, we invest in ourselves.
