Publisher Description

For a quarter century in more than ninety countries, Habitat for Humanity has built homes with and for the people who are most in need of them, aided by more than a million volunteers—two of the most devoted of whom are former president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn.

In this captivating look at Habitat from the inside out:

• Listen to personal accounts from volunteers and homeowners about building Habitat homes

• Learn of the physical challenges Habitat faces due to climate, available building materials, and resources at building sites around the world

• Understand how Habitat for Humanity offers a “hand up, not a hand out” to people in need

“This is an inspiring book, telling how ideas starting on a little farm in Georgia have grown to a worldwide movement bringing people together.” —Pete Seeger, songwriter

"Kind of a PSA for Habitat for Humanity, but an interesting, touching, and inspiraing read nonetheless. The books reads kind of like an extended magazine article, with tons of quotes from the people who have worked on Habitat projects and whose lives have been touched by the experience. "
