Tomorrow is the day! I have waited 6 years since my last build to be able to lead a team with Habitat and Thrivent Worldwide. Tomorrow, my husband and I and 12 other team members will be traveling to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where we will be pouring concrete floors in homes with dirt floors. Unpaved floors serve as a breeding ground for disease-causing parasites, bacteria, and insects that can lead to major health and hygiene threats as well as stunt children's cognitive development. Anyone that knows me knows that children have a special place in my heart (former early childhood educator). I am asking for your prayers for the safety of my team, our health, the weather and for the families we will be serving. If you would like to donate to help provide the materials needed for our project, please go to http://helpbuild.habitat.org/site/TR?fr_id=3413&px=6767317&pg=personal. I will be posting pictures and updates as I am able throughout the upcoming week. If you need anything in the meantime, my staff will be in the office to assist. I will return to the office on Thursday, July 17th. #HabitatandThriventWorldwide #HabitatforHumanity
