So today I spent my afternoon helping with Habitat for Humanity! Its was fun, but also lots and lots of work. I went for philanthropy hours for my sorority, and I am SO glad I did it. I was thinking how so many people have 'Help with Habitat for Humanity' on their check list of like things to do before they die (at least I think people do) and I did it sort of on a whim. It was the most appealing choice for philanthropy hours. I mean, the other ones were like 5k runs, and I don't know about you, but to me, I don't see how that helps anyone. Yes, you do pay some money and stuff and you're running for a cause, but with this you know you are working directly for this family to build a home for them to grow in. Plus i'd rather be doing a fun hands-on activity rather than jogging... that is not my forte.
Long story short, I would really recommend helping out with Habitat for Humanity sometime. It seriously was TONS of fun! Who doesn't like ramming hammers into nails all over the place?? One thing we did when we were finished for the day was write little notes to the families on wooden beams and stuff that we built. I may be sore after a long day's work, but it was so worth it, and I absolutely loved it! The rest of the day has been pretty a pretty typical Saturday afternoon: shower, facebook, listening to music, and thats about it! Maybe its time to start homework since its 10pm on a Saturday?
Help Habitat for Humanity!
Live, Laugh, Amour,
Jane
