Jessie Hamby, the “Most Valuable Volunteer” for 26:12 in Amarillo had this to say about a day of service in their hometown. 

“Saturday July 26, myself and 10 other Twenty-Six: Twelve volunteers had the opportunity to work on a Habitat for Humanity house. The house we were working on was going to a Somalian refugee family of 15! We scraped floors and painted eaves, caulked windows and trimming, and even built a water heater closet. Cindy Thomet and I had the opportunity to see 3 houses in the different stages of development, one of them completely done. It was really special seeing what the end result of our efforts will look like.  

 

As we are walking through life, we can only pray that somehow we brush off on other people and leave our fingerprints on their lives. This past Saturday, I think that we made a difference. It was so awesome working and laughing and learning and sharing, and even having a few blisters with people who want to give of themselves to others.”
