This past month,15 Habitat members went to Honduras for nine days and completed two homes! These travelers had an awesome time volunteering their time to help our international affordable housing mission. Volunteer Coordinator, Laurel Prichard, hashed out some details about their trip to us; she said it was an enlightening trip that allowed the volunteers to experience the culture first-hand. It also gave them an opportunity to help a less fortunate community and country, one that appreciates international support. Laurel explained that it puts our needs (in America) into perspective and helps us realize global needs, in addition to our own. She said it was a pleasure to work with the Honduras people because of their friendly and inviting attitude as well as their eagerness to work and do everything in their power to build their homes. She strongly encourages those interested in the 'global village' expeditions to fulfill their desires, claiming that the trip will allow you to provide service to a foreign country while simultaneously offering the opportunity to immerse yourself in a foreign culture, otherwise unbeknown to you!
