How I Spent My Thanksgiving Vacation …

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity

Global Village program

• Habitat for Humanity International’s Global Village trips offer participants the unique privilege to become active partners with people of another culture. Team members work alongside members of the host community and get to know another culture in way very few can.

• Global Village volunteers have the opportunity to

participate in local cultural activities, help raise awareness of the burden of poverty housing and, of course, further Habitat’s mission to build decent, affordable housing worldwide. As partners, team members help build a true global village of love, homes, communities and hope!
