Karim and Magda applied
for a Habitat for Humanity home in September 2006, after learning about
the program from one of our homeowners. They also had friends in
the Kansas City area who were able to purchase a Habitat home
there. Since being approved for a home in November 2006, Karim
and Magda have waited very patiently for us to be able to build their
home in a quiet neighborhood away from the noise of trains and traffic,
which are very disruptive to Hamzah.
The
Abdelbanat/Abduljabbar family's house is going up quickly! Thanks in
large part to the Bike and Build visit last month, all of the walls
have been framed, roof trusses have been set, and most of the roof
sheathing has been installed. Framing work will be completed soon, and
work will soon begin on the storage shed in the back yard. .
