Habitat has selected the site for the 2012 Build for Neighbors South Coalition. A home damaged by fire was torn down on Wednesday, November 23, at 2460 S 19th St. A new home will be built in the summer of 2012 at this site. Plan now to help Neighbors South build a new home for a family in South Omaha.

The 2011 Neighbors South Habitat build is underway. This is the thirteen house this coalition has built. Sixteen volunteers came out for the first day. Here is what it looked like as the day ended.

The Neighbors South Coalition is in full swing ready to build its thirteen home. Progress is well underway on the build site. As you can see, the lot is a nice level lot which will facilitate our successful build.
The foundation and basement walls are in place.
We begin work on Friday, June 10. We work every weekend, Friday and Saturday, except the July 4th weekend. We plan to have the house completed by the end of August. Come out, share your talents. We are blessed to work together.

Dedication of the 12th Home Built by Neighbors South

A nice group of volunteers and supporters gathered on Sunday, October 3, to welcome Andreya Mayom, Alek Kur and their children into their new home.

Andreya addressed the gathered group expressing his sincere thanks for the work of providing his family a home. He described the home that he grew up in the Sudan. It was made of grass and easily destroyed. “This home will mean that my family will be safe and secure.”

Amazing Effort

The 12th Neighbors South Build began under the threat of rain. However, never to be deterred, the volunteers not only set all the walls but set all of the rafters, too. What a great start to a great build.
