House dedication

When noon rolled around, Tyra Lewis arrived with her youngest of two daughters. This little one is an adorable two years old and can be seen here in her grandmother's arms.

Surrounded by Habitat workers, the Lewis family is excited about their new home and appreciative for everyone's involvement. Rewarding and satisfying work for the volunteers, we leave here after five days, knowing that this family has a bright opportunity ahead.

Thanks to Nancy DeVries for getting our February 2010 story posted so quickly!

It was encouraging to see the general progress all over Bay St Louis/Waveland despite the effects of the country's economic bad times (especially since they depend on tourists for much of their economy.) The Bay/Waveland affiliate is building at an impressive 35-40 houses per year and has made a full commitment to green building. So this year, we didn't do any volunteer installed insulating as professionals came to apply the spray insulation.

Spread the word another crew will be going down to Bay/Waveland the last week of April and there are still spots open. Contact pat@patersonhabitat.org for more information.
