Carters pitch in on Habitat project in Oakland

[n2doc]

At the site of a dozen under-construction Habitat for Humanity townhouses in Oakland, scores of volunteer workers busily toted boards, hammered and sawed on Monday.

One couple assiduously operated a table saw, working with the fluidity of a longtime partnership. The couple, former President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter, spent almost three hours framing windows in one of the solar-panel-topped homes.

For 30 years, the Carters have devoted an annual week to hands-on work with Habitat around the globe. This was their first time doing so in the Bay Area.

"It's kind of a vacation for us," said Jimmy Carter, who just turned 89. "It's adventurous, unpredictable and challenging, but always gratifying."

Amazing couple. Inspiring!

1. What a good man (couple)

I have something in my eye.

BTW it is easy for the Mike Huckabees and Santorums to talk about
being a Christian but Jimmy walks the walk.

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood were also there helping build homes.

2. That's amazing considering that they are both in their upper 80's.

Their good works are worth a lot more than the empty words of many who call themselves Christian.
