Help for Housing
To the Editor,
I would like to take this opportunity
to introduce to those who are not
aware of its existence, an organization
called Habitat for Humanity
International. It is a non-profit,
ecumenical Christian house-building
ministry whose objective is to
eliminate poverty housing from the
world and make decent shelter a
matter of conscience. Now that may
sound like a pretty big goal, but in its
12 years of existence Habitat for
Humanity International has grown to
over 200 local affiliates in U.S. and
Canadian cities and over 40 sponsored
projects in 18 developing countries.
All the projects are dependent upon
volunteer help, whether it be in providing
volunteer labor, materials, or
building expertise on the actual building
projects,
