About Me
I started volunteering with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity in March 2012, shortly after relocating to Dallas, TX. Fast forward more than four years later and I am still a faithful Core Volunteer with Dallas Habitat and committed to the work that Habitat for Humanity does more now than ever.
Not only have I worked in Dallas, but I had the opportunity (thank you to my amazing friends and family) to travel to Amarante, Portual a few weeks ago to participate in a Habitat for Humanity - Global Village build. And just when I thought I couldn't be more committed, seeing the work done in another part of the world sparked my passion yet again!
I know Memphis is not the likes of Nepal or Portugal, but there are people there who need our help and I'm committed to doing what I can to live up to Habitat's mission: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. "Despite Memphis’ rich history and culture, nearly 1 in 3 Memphis residents live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 10 Memphians have an income at 50 percent or below that level."
I am so excited to be a part of the 2016 Carter Work Project and look forward to making many, many more incredible Habitat memories. Thank you in advance for your support whether it be good vibes or a few bucks, I appreciate every single one of you!
xoxo - Rhiana

About Habitat for Humanity:
Habitat for Humanity International’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Anchored by the conviction that housing provides a path out of poverty, since 1976 Habitat has helped more than 5 million people through home construction, rehabilitation and repairs and by increasing access to improved shelter through products and services. Habitat also advocates to improve access to decent and affordable shelter and offers a variety of housing support services that enable families with limited means to make needed improvements on their homes as their time and resources allow. As a nonprofit Christian housing organization, Habitat works in more than 70 countries and welcomes people of all races, religions and nationalities to partner in its mission.

About the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project:
Often referred to as Habitat for Humanity’s “most famous volunteers,” President and Mrs. Carter give a week of their time each year to help Habitat build, renovate or repair homes in order to shed light on the critical role decent housing plays in helping families build strength, stability and independence. Through the years, Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project has drawn more than 92,260 enthusiastic volunteers who have rolled up their sleeves and done what’s needed to improve access to affordable housing. These selfless volunteers have built, renovated and repaired 3,944 homes in 14 countries since 1984.
