A family has a home, thanks in part to the 2008 Rockefeller Center Christmas
tree. Its lumber was used to help construct a home in New York.   *Habitat’s
2009 Annual Report <http://www.habitat.org/support/report/default.aspx>*
Despite the struggling economy, more than 61,000 families were served in
fiscal year 2009. Celebrate our successes, consider our goals for 2010 and
review our financial information in this year’s annual report.   *New issue
of Habitat World <http://www.habitat.org/hw/Dec_2009/default.html>*
This month, Habitat World emphasizes the ways you can get involved in the
mission of Habitat: Learn about the work of youth volunteers, connect with
other volunteers using social media or travel abroad on a short-term
house-building trip. True stories from Habitat volunteers around the world
will motivate and encourage you to get involved.    *Get Involved with
Habitat*  *Reform foreign assistance and include affordable
housing<http://secure.habitat.org/site/lookup.asp?c=fpIQK4OyFkG&b=5607659>
*
Currently, both Congress and the Obama Administration are working to reform
foreign assistance. With 1 billion of the world’s poor living in slums,
there couldn’t be a better time to make foreign assistance more effective
and increase the focus on adequate housing. Please act now: Ask for
affordable housing to be a priority of the reform.    *Habitat Success Story
