Resources
Why we work in Salima
Despite being famous for its Gule wa Mkulu dances, and rich cultural heritage, Salima has an extremely high housing need.
Many children living in Salima have been orphaned as a result of HIV and AIDS which has led to a large number of households being led by children who cannot afford to look after the home.
Housing poverty in Salima means that many of the people in the community live on less than $1 a day.
What will you do?
Expect early starts so that you can begin work before the sun is at it’s highest point. This means you will finish working a few hours before you have dinner. Typical Volunteer Activities include:
- Mixing and passing mortar
- Digging and laying foundations
- Laying bricks
- Plastering new walls

Prayer Flag Proj for Ark Buffalo, new off grid camping outfit at Broughton Water Buffalo
6 lino designs to capture the ethos of the farm... so we have:
• Tipi / building for next generation
• River management
• Tree planting / forestry
• Protecting wildlife habitats
• The eternal knot of mob grazing
• Aving a smoke & a big buff swimming about
Designs will be printed onto reclaimed flag materials & sewn up to make Ark Buff's answer to the Tibethan prayer flag - all the branding that I've done for them so far has been based around prayer flag colours so it's a bit o a feature.
Anyway was good design proj - if u'd like a print (black ink, white-ish paper) they're about A4 size & I'll be taking orders after crimbo :D

We're so excited to announce that in just one week we'll kick off our 6th (‼️) #habitatforhumanity house build! This year we'll be working with dorchesterh4h to build a home for the Levine family 🏠. Here are some photos from yesterday's welcome reception with the family and members of our team. We used a 3dsystems 3D printer to crreate a model of the house to give the family a sneak peek at their future home! Stay tuned - we'll be providing updates all throughout the build 🔨.

We are aware of all that has been given to us, in this lifetime, in the past few years, months, days and so it’s hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back. It’s said that generosity begins in your heart and then spills out in your behavior. That what you pour out is poured right back into you... we couldn’t agree more. #habitatbuild #nixtann #lovewhereyoulive #womenbuild 6019827918

Helping to make the dream of ownership come true. We volunteered with habitatforhumanity habitatbroward on their Rick Case Habit Community project. When it’s complete, the community will have 77 homes, a community park and playground. 🔨🔨🔨

Kris Hermiller and Marvin Miller cut siding Wednesday for the Habitat for Humanity of Findlay/Hancock County’s 2020 Apostle Build.
Over 300 volunteers representing 12 churches have come together to build the 45th local Habitat home and the eighth all-church build. The home is scheduled to be dedicated on Oct 3. #findlayohio #habitatforhumanity #construction #habitatbuild #volunteers
Proud to work for a company that cares about the communities we live in and with amazingly generous and selfless individuals who consistently spend their time, sweat and tears coming to all the wonderful volunteer opportunities our company affords us.
Last week we spent 3 days building 2 new homes in Atlanta in partnership with Habitat for Humanity for 2 very deserving families.
Many of the volunteers were the same individuals who joined me in Brazil earlier this year when we helped build 6 homes in Recife. It was such a heartwarming reunion getting to work together again on another great project.
Habitat for Humanity relies heavily on the work of volunteers to keep the costs down for the homes they build for low income families. Try signing up for a build! Or let me know if you’d like to join me on one of our Delta builds! 😊

🐊GHARIAL EXHIBIT BUILD🐊
New addition to the zoo! The Gharial exhibit. I’ve been slowly considering what animals to bring into Tropical Wild Lands (the name of the Zoo) so I can include a wide range of diverse animals and also maintain a good level of conservation. The Gharial was the perfect match for a new addition. The pathway through the middle is the perfect area to see the Gharial without disturbing them.
If you want to see me build the new habitats and areas of the zoo you can follow me on twitch (link in bio) and catch the live thought process and creation of these habitats! 💙
