Habitat For Humanity Commendation
Thank you so much for volunteering at Habitat for Humanity Toronto. We are so grateful for your help as a House Leader and Crew Leader on the Women Build we could not have done it without you! In addition, 156 female Crew Leaders successfully completed training at Habitat University and we have Assistant Instructors like you to thank for that.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, worldwide, independent Christian housing program dedicated to the belief that decent, affordable housing is a basic human right and need. Our mission is to help eliminate poverty housing by building Simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with working, low-income families, volunteers and donors of funds and materials.
It is the generosity of people like you, who give your time, energy, and enthusiasm that makes Habitat a success and allows us to continue to provide families in need with affordable housing. I will hope to see you on the build site again soon.
Arundel Gibson,
VP People

Habitat for Humanity Toronto's 'Women Build'
Betty of AWC and Nicky of BNC Designs were featured recently on Small Business Big Ideas which airs on Sunday mornings on 107.7 FM. & 1580 CKDO which airs in the Durham area. The radio program was produced by the Durham Home & Small Business Association of which Betty & Nicky are members.
"We're both women in construction, we felt being on the show was a perfect link to the upcoming Habitat for Humanity Toronto's Women Build Blitz on May 1st 2008. We want to support & promote women in a male dominated industry and inspire other women to both step outside the box & get involved in a really worthy cause."
