Home Interiors Charitable Foundation Help Build Homes
'After the day's work was completed, a special ceremony took place to surprise 20 Los Angeles families with the news that they have qualified to become 'Habitat for Humanity' partner families. Their reactions were a mix of shock and joy,' Bhagwagar said.
Recollects Diana: 'The joy and euphoria was stunning! Some were clapping, some laughing and crying. When you see the expression on their faces you feel so special to be part of something so beautiful. And when you work alongside them, the love and magic you experience is priceless.'
(...The event was sponsored by Home Interiors Charitable Foundation, part of Home Interiors and Gifts, a direct seller of home decor accessories....)
The partner families were chosen from more than 500 applications. They were selected on the basis of need, willingness to invest at least 500 hours of 'sweat equity' building their home and an ability to repay a zero-interest loan.
