About the Habitat Map App

In celebration of Habitat′s 500,000th and 500,001st milestone and World Habitat Day, we’ve created the Habitat Map App to encourages volunteers to tell us where they’ve built with Habitat for Humanity. Our goal is to create a dynamic representation of 35 years of Habitat volunteer experiences around the globe. Add your previous experience and tell us--what was it that made your Habitat experience memorable? Then help us spread the word by sharing with your friends and family.

About my experience In Indonesia our team built two homes high up on a rain forest mountain. The rural area outside of Singaraja was known as Git-Git, which means water fall. I learned how to be a brick mason here, and enjoyed meeting the children at the local school. The ingenuity on the job site was remarkable. Instead of metal scaffolding, the locals felled a tree cross cut it, and ran it through the brick walls, so that we could stand on it for elevation as the brick courses progressed. Bali is an amazing place, so after the build I went to Ubud -Just like Julia Roberts in the movie Eat Pray Love. While I didn't fall in love with a man in Ubud, I did fall in love with the people of Bali, and with the Monkey Forest, where monkeys run free and will snatch your purse, if you're not careful.
