Thanks for commenting, Jill. A friend of ours built in New Zealand just a couple of years ago. I wish we could have gone, too, because I really would love the opportunity to see the country. Habitat is in many parts of the world. It’s known as Habitat International or Habitat Global Village. It is, as you said, very rewarding to build a home for someone who truly needs one. And we’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity. Best wishes for a great week ahead!

I’ve heard of Habitat for Humanity here inNew Zealand, Rusha. I imagine it would be very satisfying to be part of a project like this. Congratulations on your part in building this house for these three children.

Thanks so much! I feel so very fortunate to have been a part of the process . . . even though it was such a short, short time.

I agree, a solid front step and a few plants will really add a homey touch. Maybe it’s a woman (or great minds) thing but I think they will appreciate it.

It IS nice to see something come full circle. I’m also hoping that the doorstep can be finished a bit and some landscaping added. (Does that sound too much like a woman, or what?) Thanks for your comment. It’s great to know that friends all over America share in our joy.

Great news! Thanks for coming back to the topic to share the update with us, I’ve been thinking about this family and hoping their home was complete.

You are quite welcome. It’s so nice to know that people I haven’t even met are as thrilled as we are that this family has a better place to live. We appreciate your concern for the project and for the kids.

Thanks so much, Curt. You are right. It is a good chance at a better life. The house seems quite sound and in a safe neighborhood — with a spectacular view. I’m so very happy for the family. Thanks for commenting.
