Homes Back Home
Back home in China, a score of students joined
Habitat for Humanity and their project rebuilding
homes for the communities devastated by the
2008 Sichuan earthquake in Chengdu. One of the
teachers accompanying the students noted how
active and energetic the students were once they
realized that even moving bricks was very helpful
for the workers who could then focus their efforts
on building faster. The students moved about
30,000 bricks over three days and helped com-
plete other simple and basic tasks. But it is the
small acts that can make a huge impact.
