Need the $350 for your #Habitat Global Village trip deposit? Fund raise with a #Share.Habitat site!1/21/2014
 I've learned that previous Global Village participants are interested in volunteering with another team, but need help securing their deposit. I have great news! You can fund raise with a Share.Habitat page for your $350 to hold your spot on a Global Village team. Recently, a member of my team set up a page and overnight she received more than $1,100 from family and friends! Get started today with your 8-digit Habitat ID number and trip code GV14516.
 Take the pledge and get the BUiLD Toolkit. Around the world, 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing. That’s roughly one of every four people on the planet.
Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 3 million people to secure decent, affordable homes. But the need is vast and growing — and we’re always seeking ways to do more. BUiLD is a movement to create a world where everyone has a decent place to live. The BUiLD campaign helps raise awareness of the global housing need. It also raises funds for our mission to create affordable housing. Through BUiLD, people from all walks of life can contribute to our mission in ways other than volunteering to construct houses:
