The partner families are on hand to assist with any questions a first-time homeowner family might have, from insurance to home repair. The success of the blitz build has also led many participants to begin planning new Habitat projects. After this week's experience working with student volunteers, Don Steinert is considering organizing a student-built home as part of a leadership seminar. That's what I'm carrying back from here. Florence Tandy is eager to begin planning a women's build.
People are just so excited about it.
I think this has helped to make that excitement and to give us the wherewithal to follow through. Charlene Stone believes the blitz build's success will serve as a catalyst for local involvement with Habitat. I look forward to seeing that community support fall in. I know it will. Tandy sees the week's passing not as the end of a project, but as the beginning of a new level of home building for her affiliate.
