Did You Know?


1.6 billion people in the world live in substandard housing


100million people worldwide are homeless


100million people worldwide are homeless

1 in 6 Americans are in need of a decent, affordable home to live ...because 44.2 million of them spend more than 50% of their income on housing


Knowing these harsh facts made me want to do something...


So I decided to jump on a plane with my friend Ela to help build a

Habitat for Humanity house in Asheville, NC

Yes, we were giddy with delight...


Did You Know?


Each Habitat volunteer is asked to raise donations for the

trip. The money raised will be used for the following:

Housing: we stayed at Sweet Peas Hostel

Cost of groceries: we made all our breakfasts, lunches and dinners

Donation to Asheville and Global Village Habitat for Humanity Chapters (fund housing material)


Target Volunteer Donation

= $1,300

Elvin’s Donation

Achieved = $2,000+


THANK YOU TO ALL MY DONORS WHO MADE MY TRIP POSSIBLE

Did You Know?


Habitat for Humanity doesn’t give away a free house...


Habitat home owners buy their house from Habitat for Humanity•They must have income and good credit

•They must be able to take out a no interest mortgage w/the help of Habitat (15 year mortgage at no interest)

•Each adult must volunteer 200 hours on their house (Sweat Equity)


The woman in the blue is Doris Pacheko, the homeowner of the house we built putting in her Sweat Equity hours...and lending a hand building her roof! Go Doris!!!


The house for Doris wouldn’t have been possible without

YOU

...without your contributions

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart


And now time to give you a glimpse to our week on the work site...
