Habitat for Humanity to host Twitter party focused on building vibrant communities

WHAT:          

Every year, President and Mrs. Carter give a week of their time to help build, renovate or repair homes and raise awareness about the need for affordable and decent housing. Last year, the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project led an effort in Haiti to build 155 homes in Leogane in partnership with families left homeless by the 7.0-magnitude earthquake in 2010. This November, the Carters return with more than 600 volunteers to build 100 additional homes.

In anticipation of the this year's build, Habitat will host a Twitter party to discuss what it takes to get a community back on its feet after disasters such as the earthquake in Haiti.
