Thrivent Builds Home Featured in the 2009 Parade of Homes
|
|
With a shameless four-legged neighbor who just wants to play fetch, volunteers from BYU-Idaho, Cargill, Lowe's, Home Depot, Bechtel BWXT, the INL, Bike and Build, the First Presbyterian Church and Thrivent have been drilling, cutting and hammering away. Thanks to their dogged determination the Miller Family Home was featured in the 2009 Parade of Homes held September 17-20, 2009.
The noted outstanding feature of this home was its bamboo flooring, donated by Teragren and installed by DriftWood Custom Interiors of Rexburg, Idaho.

Global Village Team for Idaho Falls
|
|
|
|
Habitat for Humanity Idaho Falls Area's first Global Village Team is home. Three Idaho Falls team members joined an international team of 16 building in Mozambique, Africa, from September 26 - October 10, 2009. The Mozambique Affiliate is one of Idaho Falls tithe recipients for 2008.
Team members built 19 new homes with the people of Mahubo, Mozambique. Working alongside the mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and children of the host community, team members mixed concrete by hand, constructed native style homes using local materials.
HFH Mozambique developed their housing program to provide shelter for the poorest of the poor – orphaned and vulnerable children and their caretakers.
