A Memorable experience with Habitat!

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds homes for low-income families with the help of volunteers in the community. I always had a wonderful experience working with the organization and I will be sharing one of my most beautiful memorable time in serving the community.

The first time I decided to work for habitat was during my "Service Learning Group Project" for business communication course. It was an activity required to complete the course successfully. It always have been a wonderful experience working with habitat. I had never thought that I would be building homes in USA, especially, being a finance major. But somethings are meant to be done at a particular time.

It was a first time experience and honestly, I was a bit nervous. But then, there is always a first time in life for everything. The nervousness was because it was a completely new environment and I was not sure of what will I be doing. But all this fear went off when I reached the site. There were lot of individuals and other groups present here who have not worked in a construction environment before. Habitat does require volunteers but one need not be a skilled professional to carry out the tasks on site. One good thing about working with habitat is that nobody feels aloof. Its like working within a huge family, with a set of individuals from different backgrounds, cultures and skills - all working towards an objective of providing a basic need to an individual or a family who cannot afford enough money to have a shelter.

I feel really blessed and lucky to be able to provide a helping hand for a good cause. I really enjoy working with so many wonderful people at habitat and it would be my pleasure to work for habitat again and again. In the end, I would encourage all of you who is reading my blog to definitely experience this feeling and feel PROUD for acting in the interests of the society.
