HabitatforHumanity

Growing up, I had the opportunity to help out with remodel projects around my house, so when we were told to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, I was very excited. Before being an interior design student, I didn't know there was such a program where you could help others through the skills interior design offers. I love to volunteer my time, and being able to do so with the knowledge I have as an interior design student and growing up at home, was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.

I really enjoyed doing the hands on work in helping to create the house. Although the insulation was very itchy, it felt great knowing that I was helping out with the family. Also, it was a nice surprise to have been served delicious sandwiches for lunch. I believe I was able to get closer to my fellow interior design peers with this project and overall be apart of such a great volunteer program.
