On Sunday, November 15th, fifteen delegates from San Gabriel Valley affiliate gathered in Chiang Mai, Thailand for 26th annual Jimmy Carter Work Project. Habitat's Carter Work Project is an annual, internationally recognized week during which the former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, along with his wife, join thousands of volunteers to build and renovate simple, decent, and affordable housing. This year, volunteers from 44 states in United States and 33 countries, including New Zealand and Singapore, are building 82 homes in Chiang Mai from November 16-20.

Update: We are currently in our third day of building. We reached a milestone this afternoon: we put up the roof trusses.

Pictures will soon be uploaded.
