Ground Bereaking Ceremonies were held on Friday May 9, 2008 for our first of three Jimmy and Roaslynn Carter work Projects in the Gulf Coast. this is celebrating 25 years former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn have helped Habitat for Humanity build safe affordable housing for families in need!!
This year the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project will help build 250 homes across the gulf coast which was so heavly damaged due to the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita!
Here in Lake Charles we will be building three houses to commerate the Carters and their faithful service to Habitat for Humanity.
Calcasieu Area Habiat for Humanity has been building houses for the last 16 years and has built 48 houses for those in need in Calcasieu Parish and 1 in Cameron, we are finishing up our one in Cameron. Over the last 2 1/2 years since Hurricane Rita struck the Gulf Coast 29 of those houses have been built.
We could build more houses if we had the funding and the volunteers to help us.
