| From the Executive Director |
Dear
Friends,
We sincerely thank you for your
faithful dedication to this housing ministry. The wonderful work we do in
St. Joseph
County also helps build
Habitat homes around the world through the Habitat for Humanity International
Tithe Program. Each time we build a home in our community, we send 10 percent of our
cash revenues to a Habitat affiliate in another country. This month, our tithe
went to Mozambique,
Bangladesh and
Nicaragua. Since 1988, our affiliate
has given more than $171,000 to help 65 international families become Habitat
homeowners. That is something we can all be proud
of.
