Goals for Habitat Build - on 6th & 7th


  • Learn new skills in building and construction - with each Habitat build we have learnt new skills because each time we worked on a different part of a house, each requiring different techniques. i hope that this build wont be different. However it all depends on the other construction workers we will be working with. sometimes they trust us with more difficult and skill-based tasks, but sometimes they just use us to carry things around. 
  • Understand the significance of the contribution i am making - making sure that i am making an improvement to this family's life.
  • Work well with the other volunteers and with the other workers to make the most of the time we have there. 2 days is not enough time to build a whole house, but i will try to contribute as much as possible
  • Improve my strength and willpower - in previous builds i have noticed that towards the end i start slackening and doing less work, this is partly because the work is really exhausting and partly because i begin to feel that i have done enough work for the day. for this build i need to have more perseverance and willpower to continue working.
