The final day of building at this year’s Carter Work Project was exhausting, emotional and rewarding, as volunteers hurried to finish construction and honor the 82 homeowner families with individual house dedication ceremonies. The presence of dozens of homeowners’ children (allowed on site for this special occasion) was a joyful reminder that it is all about the families. “Their hopes and dreams now have a chance to flourish,” said Habitat for Humanity Thailand president Chainarong Monthienvichienchai.
