MUMBAI | Indian Seeds, Delegation Leaders and Seeds’ supporters met in Karjat, outside of Mumbai, on April 27 to participate in a Habitat for Humanity Youth Build.”
“The temperatures there felt like a 102 degrees, but warmer still were the welcomes we got,” said Aziz, a 2012 Seed.
“The villagers were extremely thankful for the little help we gave in building their homes—many of them really appreciated the work we did, like painting.”
The 15 volunteers joined nearly 10,000 youth from across 10 Asia Pacific Countries as part of an effort to provide shelter for local families.
“Bricks and stones only make houses, but what makes a home is the love and care you put into the house,” says Aziz.
Habitat for Humanity builds and repairs houses all over the world using volunteer labor and donations. Families purchase these houses through no-profit, no-interest mortgage loans.
Transportation to Karjat for the Seeds, along with their participation fees, was made possible by longtime Seeds of Peace supporter Chuck Oldanie and funding from Seminole Rotary, Largo Rotary and the Rotary Club of Seminole Lake.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Wonderful to see my colleague and others participate in this extremely productive venture. Good Luck and best wishes for many more worthy causes by Seeds.
