The Foundation

Today a group of volunteers with various skills will put the first floor on the home. This is an incredible step for the project. With what started as a dream by a group of people to change the life of a family is becoming a reality before our eyes.
Ready, Set, GO!

Colleen Crnich, from Habitat for Humanity London, offered encouragement and support of the London Chapter at the Habitat for Humanity – Ingersoll Build Kick Off event held April 16, 2009 and provided insight into the ways that Habitat can change a family and a community. Colleen has participated in 16 London builds and still finds, as each new home is dedicated, that it is a powerfully emotional experience to be part of the achievement.
