Worked on the third projects here in Mobile. It is another re-hab of a re-possed home that was purchased by the Mobile affiliate through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), a federal program run by HUD that was funded through the stimulus package. The main workdays for Habitat affiliates are usually Saturdays, due to people's availability to volunteer on that day. There is an NCCC Americorps team assigned here. Ten young folks from 18-24 years old. They are great to work with. All quick studies for whatever you show them to do in construction. Today also met Kevin Ardley, another of the staff of Mobile Habitat. He is from Austrailia. He was in charge of building forty houses in Rockefeller Center in New York a few years ago after Hurricane Katrina hit. They framed the houses and then shipped them by truck to New Orleans and Mississippi. Not sure what happened to them after that. He was working in Habitat's office in Americus, Georgia in 2004, when the founder and his wife were asked to leave the organization that they had founded. He told a fellow worker on that day that the heart of Habitat was no longer there. Millard Fuller was 72 then, and some of his friends had counseled him that maybe he should retire. He replied that God had called him to the mission to eliminate poverty housing and just because he was kicked out he wouldnt stop. He then founded Fuller Centers for housing, and in a few years, those have popped up all around this nation and the world. Unfortunately, Millard got sick and passed away on February 3, 2009. He is buried at Koinonia in Americus Georgia.
