Going for a holiday? Can't decide where to go? Habitat for Humanity have a few suggestions for you with lots of activities packed into a five days to two weeks itinerary.
It is going to be a holiday with a difference because you will be working along side volunteers from around the world to help build simple, decent homes. Why? Because you want to be part of an international movement to create a world where everyone has a proper home. So, expect to meet some people with muscles and learn how to build houses and communities for people in need.
Can't afford to go? Then tell your family, friends, colleges, churches, civic clubs and others that
Raise the awareness about Habitat’s work to help break the cycle of poverty and raise some funds along the way for the trip. Get them to join you.
Happy holidays.
