Sendai Habitat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sendai Habitat refers to the annual charity projects undertaken by JETs in Sendai for Habitat for Humanity International.
Habitat for Humanity (HFH) is a non-profit organization that has helped build over 100,000 houses around the world. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and renovates simple, decent houses with the help of the home-owner’s family. This year a group of ALT’s from Miyagi are going to the Philippines.

 When we arrived, this is what greeted us. |
 This is the plan we needed to complete. |
 First, we dug post holes and sunk the foundations. |
 Next, we finished the flooring and the frame for one wall. |
 In the morning we raised our first wall. |
 And then we finished the frame for the second wall. |
 Next we finished the third and fourth wall frame. |
 And raised all four walls. |
 We built the frame for the roof. |
 And put the roof on the walls. |
 Here we made some doors and some steps. |
 And we finished the roof and put in the windows. |
 Here we are inside the finished house! |
 And here we are outside! |
[edit] Bangladesh 2004
A group of 6 English teachers ALTs living in Sendai, Japan traveled to Jessore in Bangladesh to assist with a Habitat for Humanity 'Global Village' building project. Each volunteer donated their time and money so that families in Bangladesh may have safe and decent housing. The group traveled to Bangladesh in late April 2004, and spent one week laboring and another week visiting local communities and schools while traveling around Bangladesh. This volunteer project was only made possible through the many personal donations and group fund raising events.

With a family of about 20, Jaya (below right) was living in a house with only a kitchen, a living area and one small bedroom. The plans (Below left) show the new house which we helped construct. We arrived to only 9 concrete foundations set into tidal mudflats. Although we didn't finish the house we were able to see it take shape into a house that more than doubles his family's living space.
