“Home is a place, where you and your family can be safe, have all you need, and share your sadness and happiness, where you can help each other as a family. It does not matter how big or small. I live in a small room with my two sons, and we share our thoughts.”

“Since 2007, I’ve built four homes with Habitat for Humanity families. The common point that each family has is: faith, hope, family, school, love, even future struggles. Home gave these four great families a safe place out of dangerous living conditions so they could think about the future as well as the present.”
— Chad
“Home is a comfort place to live with our families and pets and enjoy with friends, a place to build memories as well as a way to build future wealth (财富). A place where we can truly just be ourselves. And whether our houses are big or small, they are our shelters.”

“Home is my root. When I was a little kid, my parents never had their own place. With 5 kids, my dad worked 7 days a week 12 hours a day; mom worked off and on, always running to get another job. We went from one place to another. I can remember one place we lived in had no bathroom, the windows were missing, and there were holes in the walls. So the first thing I did after I got a job was to buy an apartment where I could live forever.”
— Thomas
“Home means a future. Once we had a stable home, we could think beyond where we were going to live from week to week, and we could begin to look ahead to where we wanted to go. Home is the base where everything begins.”
— Kelly

Vitamin B changes food into energy and helps the heart and nerve system to work smoothly. Vitamin B also helps to produce red blood cells.Without it, we will be weak and will not grow. It is found in grains and other foods like beans, nuts, meat and fish. |
Vitamin C is needed for strong bone and teeth, and for healthy blood vessels. It also helps wounds to cure quickly. The body stores little vitamin C, so we must get it everyday in foods like oranges, tomatoes and cabbage. |
