Habitat for Humanity's House of Abraham
July 8, 2008
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that works against homlessness and poverty. They invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.
Recently, an article about a “House of Abraham” project caugh my eye, or rather my newsfeeds. The project to build an affordable Habitat house for a local family was planned, funded, and built by a local group of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Hartford, Connecticut, USA. A little further web research shows that there are numerous other similar projects both underway and completed throughout the US.
What a fantastic idea, a grand project, a great way to bring people together to work together for something that’s literally constructive.
