Thanks to Habitat for Humanity they have a beautiful brand new four bedroom house, a far cry from where his family used to live, camps in South Africa. Their Roslyn Drive house in Mobile also represents another milestone. It's the 2-thousandth Habitat House in Alabama.
"Just shows what a really beautiful spirit of serving that our state has", saidArt Pearce, Executive Director of Alabama Association of Habitat for Humanity Affiliates.
Volunteers are what built the house along with the sweat equity provided by the family who will make it a home. Councilwoman Gina Gregory says it's just good for the community.
"That's why people come back to Habitat for humanity over and over to be part of these builds because they know what they are doing is so good. Good for their fellow man and the community and to see their faces of the family that you're building it for. It just makes it so worthwhile", said Gregory.
