Since our son became interested in architecture, Mr. Brown thought it would be good to do some volunteer work when we were in the States.  They applied to help at Habitat with Humanity and went to an orientation first.  Then they were assigned to work at two different sites for many days.

This is the second site they were helping.  I heard that it's to help a low income family to remodel their house. I was standing in front of the house.

The work wasn't done before we came back to Taiwan.  We did receive pictures from the crew when the house was finished.  I will get the pictures and post them here.  Overall it was a very good experience for them.  They both enjoyed it soooooo much.
