Good Wednesday everyone! I know it's been sometime since the blog has been updated and I'm hoping to make it a much more frequently updated one. So let's start things out with the news that we are forming a committee for a Women's Build. The date for that meeting is July 22nd at 5:30 here at our offices. This meeting will establish the steering committee for the Women Build project. Then we will hold a general meeting for everyone who is interested in volunteering in other capacities. And believe me, we will need lots of volunteers!Women Build is Habitat’s volunteer program for women who want to learn construction skills and make a difference by building homes and communities.Women Build projects are regularly held by Habitat affiliates across the United States, and by Habitat organizations around the world. Women at these builds have furthered Habitat’s home-building mission by helping to construct more than 1,700 houses. The FAQ's on Habitat International's website covers even more.
Our goal is to build an entire house from the ground up by women! I know that many of you are thinking, "I don't have any construction skills at all. I can't do that." Here's the good news. You don't have to have any skills whatsoever. That's right. I said no skills are needed. We supply you with the tools and skills you will need. It's pretty cool. I know. So, check the blog frequently as there will be plenty of updates, not just about Women Build but about all things HFHKP related! See you soon!
