[nabs-l] volunteering and missions

[Sarah Jevnikar]

I worked with Habitat for a couple days in 2006 as part of a program for
blind an d visually-impaired Canadian students. I painted, sanded, and
filled in the holes nails had left behind with mud. It probably has a better
name than that. There's lots than can be done because every project is at a
different stage so using power tools (it sounds like fun) may not even be
necessary.
I hope you end up volunteering with them; they're a great organization.

    Hi all,


This list is sure quiet.  I was thinking this is the time of giving around
the holidays.  Have you participated in an outreach project?  Anyone done
Habitat for Humanity and if so what did you do and what alternative
techniques did you use?  Can we hammer and drill safely?  

For those of you who are religious, have you been on mission trips?  I would
like to do that someday.  So far I have been to a shelter to serve lunch
with my church.  I have volunteered for the talking book library and
political campaigns.  So what are you all doing lately?  I hope to hear
someone has done Habitat because that is something I am interested in but I
don't know how I can contribute.  I think I could paint  and mix and lay
concrete outside.  Look forward to your responses.

Ashley
