Once again I am embarking on an exciting adventure, this time with Habitat for Humanity! I am heading back to Zambia, Africa from April 25th to May 9th where I will be joining 11 like minded Canadians to help build a home.
Under the Vulnerable Group Housing program, HFH Zambia is providing subsidized housing solutions for orphans and their caregivers. Their vulnerability as children puts them at a greater risk of abuse, especially sexual abuse. 1 in 7 adults live with HIV which has resulted in about 600,000 children being orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. These children are presently living in substandard and often unhealthy conditions, and they really need our help to have a simple, decent place to live.
This is what I had hoped to do with Fundiswa's home in 2013; to actually be part of the building process, instead of just paying for it to be built. This time I will actually have that opportunity. When children grow up with the security of having a roof over their heads, miraculous things can happen.
Today I’m asking that you consider supporting me and my team as we embark on this journey. It costs about $5,000 to complete a new Habitat house in Zambia. I am trying to raise $2,000, just part of that cost.
In that spirit, I am asking for help once again. Please consider giving as generously as you can. Any amount you are able to donate is greatly appreciated and will make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your support, know that I will give my best to this effort.
I will be hosting an open house on April 5th (with cheesecakes and coffee tea, of course) from 3pm till ? to thank everyone for their good wishes and any donations, as well as to answer any questions. Please feel free to email or call in the meantime, if you would like further information.
