Must say on reflection on the above,India is unlikely to have a shortage of labourers. |

| 492214 | 2006-10-17 23:26:00 | Hmmm . . . things like this are more about the individual doing it than the people he hopes to help . Its a holiday cloaked in altruism . If he REALLY cared about the people who needed homes, he would donate his airfare and expenses to the families in need directly, rather than having a holiday playing in the 3rd world and feeling good about himself . |

| 492215 | 2006-10-17 23:32:00 | I knew a man who went to India to help out along these lines, he was a Christian, we called him Morris Minor, he was a good man and I liked him. He was away for about 4 months, he died about 3 months later supposedly from some disease he caught there. Only about 45 years old. |

| 492217 | 2006-10-18 00:35:00 | Thanks Pctek for the post . I'm happy to spread the Habitat for Humanity "help yourself" ethic . We have Americans who come to NZ to help build houses here so it seemed the decent thing to go and help in a third world country . Thanks for the good wishes . |
