  1. 8 Days until Lafayette

  2. Why lafayette? • Long-term community-to-community partnership: w • Need: • PlanLafayette, released this past Wednesday, calls for 18 new homes built in two years • Solidarity after natural disasters • NYC is still rebuilding after Sandy. Lafayette absorbed thousands of refugees after Katrina. If we can learn and serve in a community dealing with similar issues, we are better prepared to understand and fulfill their needs, and to come back and help our own city. • Impact: Habitat is part of the Lafayette parish’s own plan for a better future. • Engagement: Columbia HFH has the ideas,resources, and now the sustained relationship to help Lafayette’s volunteer network expand. And they want us back!
