23 Homes Dedicated in 2007
Dedications are the culmination of families' hopes and dreams to own a home.
In 2007, volunteers, sponsors and friends celebrated in Raleigh, Cary and Garner with 23 families. They joined hands and recited a blessing upon the houses declaring that they be places where welcomed neighbors find hospitality, friendship and encouragement.
- Mawena, whose family home was dedicated in March, sees the happiness in his children. He said: "To see Zita, Nelson and Grace at play outside in the front yard, backyard and side yard. . .running . . .that's very good."
