Habitat EKC National and International Builds

Open for Volunteers: Global Village - Nadi, Fiji.
August 31 – September 15, 2012

Board Member Emily Fortman will take volunteers to Nadi, Fiji, to build homes with the local HfH Fiji affiliate and low-income families from the region.
HFH Fiji has been in operation since 1991 and has provided assistance to complete 683 homes on Fiji's major island of Veti Levu. HFH Fiji houses are constructed with concrete block or timber, replacing the traditional bamboo, woven mat ,and dirt floor homes that do not withstand the rainy season.

Volunteers will typically be assisting in creating new housing for families in need. While in Kunming, lodging will be provided at a local hotel. During the work week, participants will stay in a guest house. All daily meals, including lunch, snacks and bottled water on site, are included in the trip cost. Also included in the cost: donation to the Habitat host program and HFHI; meals; accommodations; transport (excluding participant airfare); medical emergency evacuation and trip cancellation insurance; some local cultural activities; team coordination and orientation materials. The trip cost does not include participant airfare or visa fees.
