I just found out about a wonderful program that Habitat for Humanity is running. They are taking donations to build homes in Haiti. I honestly wasn’t aware that they did work outside of the USA, but it turns out that they build homes all over the world, wherever there is a need. Obviously the need in Haiti is overwhelming.
It’s hard to imagine that it’s been a month now since the earthquakes there. I hope that if you have a little extra money, and feel that what they are doing is a good cause, you will consider donating. I have added a banner to Habitat’s Haiti effort on my sidebar as well to make it easy to find. When they are able to do so, they will build Core Houses, which cost about $4,000-$6,000 each. You can read about them and the benefits by clicking here, and be sure to take a moment to watch the video too (wow).
I read something about amish making houses like these in Ohio that were being sent down. The problem being — who gets them out of all those people?!!

I know, there are so many people it’s going to be a huge problem. I imagine that they will have some system, kind of like they do here, where you have to work on your home in order to be able to own it.
