Habitat for Humanity...
Building up YOUR community!
This last week, the Morales family finally moved into their Habitat home that has been in the building process for the last 8 months. They were so happy and thankful for all the volunteers that helped them finish their home. We celebrated with a dedication, giving gifts, the keys to the home and eating lots of food. We had about 20-30 people come through and give thanks and blessings for the home dedication. The Morales family is so blessed to have worked with Habitat for Humanity and thank the community for all their hardwork and dedication! I was very thankful to share this experience with the family and have truly seem the effects Habitat for Humanity can make on a community!
God Bless the Morales family!

2nd and 3rd Children's Community Builds :)
Children's Community Build
Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to substitute two kindergarten classroom in Owatonna. Towards the end of the week I brought in stories about communities around the world and I talked about the organization I have been working with the last four years, Habitat for Humanity. All week we were saving up milk cartons for a special surprise at the end of the week and they were so excited to find out what we were going to be building. After I shared a few stories, I spread a felt carpet out onto the floor. The carpet was filled with roads, stop signs and trees, but there was something missing in this community. The children knew right away what was missing and lots of them yelled, "HOUSES"! They were filled with energy and excitement. The children were so happy to build up their own home for the community. This also had them thinking of the many different things we need to keep our community safe and healthy, including: schools, hospitals, Churches, firehouse and grocery stores.
Once we finally put the community together, the children were so happy to see what they built. Words cant describe the joy and happiness you see on a child's face after they have achieved something that they worked so very hard on. I was very happy to bring the Children Community Build into the classroom and I am thankful for all the teachers that were such a wonderful help!
Thanks again and I hope to bring more Children's Community Builds into the classrooms and hospitals around the Minnesota area!

Habitat for Humanity Morris....Pancake Benefit :)
This last weekend, I volunteered with the Habitat chapter in the Morris community. We held a benefit breakfast at the local America Legion, serving pancakes and sausage. I had lots of fun visiting with people, serving and cleaning tables, along with greeting and thanking people for coming out to support Habitat. We ended up serving brakfast for four hours and to about 60-70 people. The total donations for the breakfast added up to $1,000! We were fo happy and thankful for all the people that attended.
Habitat for Humanity makes a difference in families and communities!
Thanks again for all the support in Morris!
