HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

This past weekend I attended a house -building hosted by Habitat for Humanity. We started at 8 am and when I arrived at the address (made easy by Google Maps) I was full of energy and ready to put my shot put/discus thrower arms to work. We were greeted by the House Dad, leader, and put to work. We planned on staying the full day (8am till 5pm) but as the sun came beating down on our necks and the once so very easy to lift roofing slabs became 10 times as heavy and the roof 5ft higher by noon (lunch break) we said adios amigos. We will return next week. I don't know how I knew what Habitat for Humanity was, as I have never worked with them before, but their name was familiar to be on some level , and when mentioned I quickly associated them with a prominent charity and not just a waist of time type of group. They do very well marking their trucks that carry supplies as well as the boards they put up in front of the houses that marks them as a Habitat for Humanity Project. I felt lucky to be working with a group of people who reach out to provide the most important human need of all- habitat -
