OCAR, my real estate association, is one of the sponsors of Habitat for Humanity's local Homes for Heroes build in San Juan Capistrano.This week I had the opportunity to volunteer my time and energy at the project site. Being involved in building one of these homes was a fantastic experience. For a full day I worked as a plumber, cutting and threading pipe. It was hard, hot work which really made me appreciate my air conditioned office and comfortable chair. However, I wouldn't have given up that day of work for anything.
There were about 50 or so other volunteers working on various aspects of the project. They all were making a difference for families that really need our help. In our case we were building homes for wounded veterans.
If you have a chance to work on a Habitat Humanity, take it. It feels so good to make a difference.
