HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OPPORTUNITY IN INDONESIA

I just got the following e-mail on the Tuesday Group mailing list. I'd love to go on this trip, but this is the exact time when the school semester starts up again.

Habitat Singapore is looking for 3 adult volunteers who are willing to give
some of their time to help families build homes in Manado, Indonesia this
August.

From the first nail to the last, you will get dirty, work hard and discover
you have what it takes to build a better world. Whether you lay bricks, dig
holes or paint walls, you will develop new skills, make new friends and
experience the magic of concerned citizens with like values.

If you are looking for an adventure of a different kind, do consider joining
our Global Village build.

The trip details are as follows:

- Date: 9 to 16 August 2008
- Cost per person:
- Donation: S$1,000 (to be fundraised)
- Incountry cost: approximately S$500
- Airfare: to be arranged with the team

The above approximate incountry cost covers accommodation, accident and
illness insurance, ground transport, most meals and water. The donation goes
to Habitat Building Fund. We encourage each volunteer to fundraise for the
donation. The team will also need to arrange their own flights and fly in
together as a team.

Volunteer criteria:

- 21 year old and above
- physical and mental fitness
- building experience is not needed
- flexible and adaptable

The trip is self funded. If you are interested and fit the above criteria,
please reply to Mr Quek Kwang Yong at kwangyong [at] dbs.com latest by next
Monday (30 June 2008).

In your reply, please provide the following details:

- Name:
- Age:
- Gender:
- Nationality:
- Contact No.:

Thank you and blessings.

Thank you for your comment on my recent post regarding the Boy Scouts' commemorative coin.

I have added two articles to the comments section of that post confirming that proceeds from the coin do indeed go to the Scouts.

One from a Scout news site http://tinyurl.com/6426ku

The other from the Nebraska Senator who sponsored the bill.
