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 My trip to HFH Taos was probably my favorite volunteer trip during my college years. Rick, the construction manager, was funny, a good teacher, and took a special liking to us because he, too, was from Kentucky, and the area was just goregous. We helped with the foundation of a home in Questa, NM and built an outdoor shed for them. We had to cut one day short because it snowed, but we were so productive the other days that we made up for it. To explain one of the pictures below...on our last day, Rick wondered how many people could fit in a port-a-potty. The answer? 7.

Why I volunteer I think it's important to give back when you can, and I love Habitat's mission of making safe, decent, affordable shelter a reality for all.
