Affiliates manage all the fund-raising, building, and family selection in their area. However, affiliates in these countries still are responsible for raising most of their funds locally. World wide, more and more people are being good neighbors to those in need by volunteering or donating to Habitat for Humanity. Volunteer to help build for your local affiliate. Everyone can help.
Politeness is the key to being a good neighbor.
Have a clean living space, backyard, and be clean yourself. You never want to be in a smelly situation where you were caught before your cleaning. Oh hi, just clear a space. You don't want to be mistaken for the lions or monkeys at the zoo. Know first aid.
