Yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness...  The God who made the world and everything that is in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made by hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’ Therefore, since we are the descendants of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead. ~ Acts 14:17, 17:24-31

Thinking About Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter is God’s gift to America as a leader and humanitarian. He also has been an example of faith in action. Habitat for Humanity has been blessed by his and his wife Rosalynn’s work. Peace and comfort to him and his family. The above image is from The Carter Center Twitter account.

Jimmy Carter is a great humanitarian!! He is all inclusive in his humanitarian efforts. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of tireless efforts in diplomacy, promoting peace, democracy, human rights, and international development, particularly through the Carter center. He has done a lot for Habitat for Humanity, and he established the Department of Education among many other wonderful things he has done to try to make the world a better place for everyone. He travels the world building houses with habitat for humanity. I could keep going on, but I think you get the idea. He's a great man who has made a positive impact on the world in his 100 years on this planet!! I love Jimmy!! ❤️ Thank you, President Carter, for all you have done for the world. 🙏🏼

Women helping women

By Maddy Quon mquon@postandcourier.com

SUMMERVILLE — Almost 300 women have come together to build a house for a single mom as a part of Dorchester Habitat for Humanity’s annual build program, meant to inspire women to get involved in construction while helping a family in need.

The Women Build used to be a weeklong project, according to Moriah Hollander, Dorchester Habitat for Humanity development director. Starting last year, it became a monthlong program in February after 200 people signed up.

“The goal is to teach construction skills to women, to be a more open and inviting environment for them,” Hollander said. “Obviously, we do the same thing — we build on our site all year-round, but this particular time just encourages more women to come in a group where they can learn and ask questions.”

Because roughly 95 percent of the future homeowners in Habitat’s application program are women, there’s a good chance the women who volunteer will relate to the recipient, Hollander said.

“We’ve had a lot of women that come on the site and just absolutely understand what these women are going through and how hard it is to try to save money for your kids and get everybody to school,” Hollander said.

Ariell Burgess, a mother of three, is the 2023 home recipient. She said Dorchester Habitat has an application process to qualify for having a house built, and expressed appreciation at how the house isn’t just handed to her.

“You help volunteer — you build your house, or volunteer to build other families’ approved Habitat for Humanity houses,” she said. “Being inside the programit’s not a handout. They just don’t give out homes; you actually have to work for it.”

Burgess has been volunteering since January 2022, and will be participating in the Women Build to help put her own house together. She said she finds volunteering at Dorchester Habitat very rewarding.

“It’s great meeting people that don’t mind giving their time to help out with something that’s going to help families like me out,” Burgess said.

Kellie Collins is going into her ninth year of volunteering for Dorchester Habitat for Humanity. She said, as a mortgage loan officer, she’s very close to the real estate industry.

“I see the need in Dorchester County ... for affordable housing. The people who we build these homes for are all hardworking, and they have loving families,” Collins said. “I have a passion for those people, and I want to help people. This is one of the ways that I get to participate and do that.”

She said she’s done the Women Build every year and is excited to do it again. She finds the program encourages women to learn more construction skills.

“When you think of construction, a lot of women I’ve talked to, they’re like, ‘I don’t know how to do that,’ and the great thing is, you don’t need skills. You can learn the skills on site with a project manager,” Collins said. “It’s great to get women involved and empowered, because the more people that are involved and know about Habitat, the more we can grow and the more families that we can help.”

Collins encourages people to give volunteering at Habitat for Humanity a shot.

“Take some time and take a four-hour shift out of their day and participate, just to get to know some people,” Collins said. “Sometimes you even get to work alongside the homeowners, and I’ve met a lot of amazing people doing it.”
