Students in the Habitat for Humanity club at Wellington C. Mepham High School recently completed their first build of the school year.

Under the direction of club advisers/teachers Josephine Parlagrecco and Chris Patten, the students donned jumpsuits, protective gear and got down to work on building a new home for a needy family.

Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. People build houses together in partnership with families in need.
