Habitat for Humanity + Travel= a VERY happy Sheri. One of my greatest passions in life is to help provide homes for people all over the world. Honest, good-hearted people who lack the financial ability to pay for and build their own homes. I am determined to help as many families as possible. On December 3rd,2010 (164 days away... but not that I am counting or anything :)) I will be leaving for New Delhi, India to participate in a team of 14 individuals who will be coming from all over the world to help build a home for a stranger. They will all be paying for the entire trip out of their own pockets and with the generosity of their friends and loved ones. Thus far, I have put in my own money (as well as receiving scholarships) to participate in two Habitat builds (Thailand and the upcoming trip to Ghana). As India will be my third trip, I am opening up to all of you to ask if you would like to help donate. I will be updating the thermometer (see the "up,up and away thermometer on the right of this page)every two weeks when the team leader will notify my of my progress. The trip with Habitat will cost just over $1800 and the airfare will cost about the same (total $3600). If I am blessed enough to reach the $1800 goal with habitat, I will switch the fund-o-meter to raising money for my airfare (this is donated to the participant directly and not to Habitat). Feel free to follow up on this blog as I will use it for my updates while in India as well (we all know how fun my blogs turn out to be! :) ). Together we will help make the world a better place! Take care! Love,Sheri
