Dear David:

Alberta students should be inspired by what is going on in the sovereign State of North Carolina. In the city of Raleigh, a superb lady is getting groups of people IIgether II form free renovations on people's homes that otherwise might not be able II afford II stay in these homes. Mrs. Nancy Murray is respectful of people's ideas and makes sure that the renos are performed II exacting standards. Thus the Builders of Hope NC began. Its not affiliated with Habitat IV Humanity wherein new homes are built. Rather it rebuilds or reconstructs homes that are aging &/or damaged.

Some of the folks getting a new home had to live in crappy, run down trailers or apartments. Now they have yards in which they can relax in and raise family's. I say God Bless Mrs. Murray and her stupendous efforts in bringing America back II the front porch 1 home at a time. We should encourage both Albertan & North Carolinian students, as well as family's everywhere II assist in these efforts in their community's.

Viva De La Revolution,

Rory
