Habitat For Humanity

The Members of IIDA at SLCC have been given the awesome opportunity to help build a Habitat for Humanity home for a family in Orem, Utah. (Click on the link below for an article about the Webb Family.) 

IIDA members were given the specific opportunity to design the children's rooms.  With a limited budget, this has been a challenge, but one that has been met with great reward. It is always a fun experience when you are given an opportunity to do something you love, and even greater when you are doing it for someone in need. 

Posted are a few photos of the beginnings of the house. More to come...
