About Me

Bob and I like to donate our time to good causes. We volunteer in various capacities at our church, we volunteer time at Feed My Starving Children, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Dupage County Habitat for Humanity, Public Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS), among other things. We also contribute on our own to our community by picking up trash at local parks. We've never volunteered time outside of the U.S., so this will be a first for us. It will also be the first time for us in a developing country. We'll gain some new perspectives, I'm sure.

Introducing our 2018 Guatemala team! This will be our 9th trip back to build with families in Guatemala. Some of our team members are veterans of home construction in Guatemala and others will be building there for the first time. Like last year, we will be adding a Healthy Home project to the end of the build week.

Global Village is Habitat for Humanity’s international volunteer program. Teams travel to over 40 countries to work alongside communities, build housing solutions, and experience local culture. Our goal is to change the lives of the people we serve, as well as the lives of the volunteers.

About Habitat for Humanity International 

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in more than 1,300 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.
