Women Build volunteers, Kristel and Megan
|
We mimic behavior we've seen and experienced, perpetuating these actions.
In Megan's case, this has been a very good thing.
Megan was seven when her family moved into their new Habitat home. She remembers hammering a few nails into the wall during construction. Megan recalls her excitement to have her own bedroom. Megan remembers the new, clean, smell and how she and her siblings were fascinated by the furnace closet.
Megan has gone from living in a Habitat home when she was younger to helping others build both their home and future. She has truly come full circle.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Supports
Women Build
|
 We often say that Cabarrus County has a special non-profit community. Proof of that is the support
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is showing to our Women Build. Why are they so interested in this particular house? Because all 5 of the grandchildren who will call it their home have been or are currently Little Sisters in the program!
In fact, next Wednesday, June 1, a team from BBBS will actually be working on the home during a build day. This is such a special partnership of two organizations in Cabarrus County who are coming together to change the lives of 5 young girls.

Have Your Church Partner with Us on a Build!
|
You can help build a home for a local family and shape their future.
This summer, Habitat Cabarrus will be partnering with Thrivent Financial, a Christian-based financial services company that provides support for families in need of home repairs and new housing. We will be working together to build a home in Concord's Magnolia Crossing, helping to fund the project through generous donations made primarily by local churches. Thrivent will match every dollar up to $40,000 donated by churches!
For more information about how you and your church can be part of Thrivent Build, please email
Katie Page or contact her at

Congratulations, Bostian Family!
|
Congratulations to our 2011 Women Build homeowners, Rocky and Dyana Bostian, for graduating with degrees earlier this month!
Dyana, who is also the Volunteer Coordinator at Habitat Cabarrus, graduated from the University of Southern California School of Social Work on May 13th with her Masters in Social Work degree. On May 14th, Dyana's husband, Rocky, graduated from Wingate University School of Pharmacy with his Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
They still have licensing procedures to go through, but Rocky has accepted a 1 year residency position at CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, NC. Dyana plans to remain at Habitat Cabarrus and work on completing her licensing requirements simultaneously. We are so proud of both of their accomplishments!
Watch Rocky's interview with Wingate University to find out how volunteering with Habitat for Humanity has helped shape the future for both him and Dyana.
