Women building 16 homes this week in Habitat Women Build
This is blitz week for Toronto Habitat for Humanity and 2000 women are slated to put up walls and roofs on 16 new homes. I'm shooting lots of video and photos and meeting fantastic women who've volunteered to strap on toolbelts. I'll post some video as soon as I have it edited. You can follow the build's progress at the official WomenBuild web site.
Mag,
Thanks for posting this.. I cannot wait to see the vidoes,
take care,
Abi

It was interesting to see all the pictures & it looks like they are almost done reaching 100% of their goal of the 16 houses! Awesome! Looks like it was fun to help all those families get nice homes. Way to go!

Thanks Mag for coming out Friday to share the fun and magic with others! We are having a great time but, more importantly, we are helping to build a better life for others and fulfilling dreams. It is also an empowering and satisfying experience for the volunteers! Great pics.

Wow - and a great place to learn how to do #1 is to volunteer for a Habitat for Humanity build! (Can you tell how much I love Habitat?)
