September 2007 - Building in Thailand with Habitat for Humanity

In September 2007 Lucinda Hartley from the architects for peace pro-bono team together with her husband Tim will be leading a group of 11 Australian volunteers to northern Thailand to work with Habitat for Humanity on a short term building project. We will be working in partnership with local families to build one or more houses.



Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, housing ministry seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat volunteers have built homes together with more than 125,000 families in need in 87 countries. Habitat works with in partnership with local communities and through volunteer labour and donation of materials. It is not a give away program rather it seeks to empower local communities through its micro finance program.

It is the responsibility of the international volunteer teams to raise the funds to finance the building project we contribute to. Our team has a fundraising target of $AUD15,000. This will finance the cost of building materials and tools, and make a contribution to the regional project.

If you would like more information about the project, or are interested in making a contribution, please contact mailto:hinfo.habitat07@gmail.com.
