Oh Happy Day: Youth United Home Dedicated!

Why are these fine people smiling? Because Sunday, December 16 was a joyful day for Robdu (Lome) Adam and her family. The Youth United home dedication was attended by so many people in the community who have helped the family since they came to the United States in 1999 including members of her church, Lower Deer Creek Mennonite in Kalona, her former teachers, coaches and classmates, members of the University of Iowa Habitat Chapter, Ann De Waters from Habitat International, members of the university community, corporate sponsors and friends.

Many thanks to all in the community who have helped the Adam family and who have supported Habitat to make "Home for the Holidays" a dream come true.
