Habitat Goes Global

Summer 2010, No. 6

Habitat for Humanity International’s

Global Village (GV) program is a great

way for Habitat affiliates to benefit from

the growing trend of volunteer vaca-

tions, and more and more affiliates are

getting involved. Through the program,

HFHI puts together teams of 8 – 16

people to go on working vacations for 1

– 2 weeks where they build in partner-

ship with an affiliate, alongside a family

that is generally of another culture, in

another country. Most of the host affili-

ates are outside of the US, and volun-

teers have the option to join teams go-

ing to Africa, Brazil, China and many

more destinations. However, more and

more US affiliates with something

unique to offer are beginning to host

teams as well, including GV regulars

Maui, Kauai, and Molokai Habitats.

The cost to each team member for a GV

trip to the ‚Garden Isle‛ of Kauai is

approximately $1,100 - $1,300 (which

includes food, lodging, cultural activi-

ties, basically every-

thing except airfare)

and also includes a

minimum of a $450

donation to the Kauai

Affiliate. Team mem-

bers can choose to do-

nate more if they like,

or even fundraise be-

fore his/her trip to de-

fray trip costs and raise

additional money to

donate. Teams stay in

Kahili Mountain Park, a

‚A retreat area with

rustic cabinettes, out-

door showers and/or

community showers

and mini-kitchenettes.

The cabinettes are nes-

tled in the shadows of

some of the most majes-

tic mountains on the island,‛ according to

descriptions of GV trips to Kauai on

HFHI’s Global Village website.

Kauai Habitat has been hosting GV teams

since 2005, and will host as many as 8

teams this year. Besides the beautiful lush-

ness that is Kauai, what keeps them coming

back year after year? According to Stephen

Spears, Executive Director of the affiliate,

‚Kauai was voted in ‚Travel and Leisure‛

magazine as the best island in the United

States and second best in the world. Also,

we have a long history (15 plus years) of

working with groups. Global Village team

members always have a good time…‛ Sign

me up!

Molokai Habitat is the newest Hawaii affili-

ate to take advantage of working with

Global Village teams. They welcomed their

first team in January of this year, and their

second in July. According to Emillia

Noordhoek, former Resource Develop-

ment Director, it’s a ‚tough process,‛ and

took them about a year to get started.

There is a small added expense because of

an extra leg of flying to the small island,

but according to Noordhoek, the time and

energy put into becoming part of the GV

family is worth it. Affiliates can expect to

net $7,000 to $10,000 per team to benefit

their program, not to mention the oppor-

tunity to share Hawaii’s unique culture

with philanthropically-minded individu-

als. Emillia is proud of all that Molokai

has to offer to Global Village participants.

‚It’s a beautiful rural island with fabulous

partner families for them to work along-

side, and unique cultural traditions. Uncle

Palipo takes the team members down to

Halawa Valley to go through protocol and

intentions, followed by a hike to Halawa

Valley falls. Kumu Farms puts on an agri-

cultural tour during the day, and then an

Hammer and Nail

Kauai Habitat regularly hosts GV teams. January 2010

With special thanks to our sponsors:

for the family. This will be Habitat [West

Hawaii’s] 9th home, the 4th in Kawaihae on

Hawaiian Homelands.‛ Volunteers are

always needed!

Congrats to Habitat West Hawaii,

which was awarded Kohala Chamber of

Commerce Pualu Award for Environ-

mental Awareness for their commitment

to energy efficiency in building their

homes, and for their successful ReStore,

which keeps almost 300 tons of material

from entering our landfills each year.

Good work folks!

We are pleased to welcome Genie Brown

as the interim Executive Director of the

Honolulu

affiliate.

Genie was a

supporter of

Honolulu

Habitat for

over 7 years

before tak-

ing on the

role as di-

rector. E

komo

mai Genie!

Along with all the ‘welcomes,’ there are

bound to be some ‘good-byes,’ the first of

which goes to Executive Director Dave

Washburn. We wish Dave all the best

with future endeavors and greatly en-

joyed working with him. Aloha Dave!

The affiliate also recently said good-bye

to VISTA volunteer Christopher Al-

banese who ‚has made huge strides in

community and faith relations for our

affiliate,‛ says Maile Alau. HHH wel-

comed new VISTA volunteer, Annie

Hollis in August. Annie comes to the

islands most recently from Alaska but is

originally from

Ohio. Apparently the

word is out in Ohio

that Honolulu Habi-

tat is the place to be,

because Christopher

hails from Ohio as

well!

Maui Habitat also welcomes a Global

Village team each year. Although it’s

not difficult for an affiliate to apply to

have teams visit, according to Cheryl

Pokipala of Maui Habitat it can be

tough to fill up a team in this economy,

especially with the rising costs of airfare

to Maui. But those intrepid travelers

who do sign up will not be disap-

pointed—between the opportunity to

work side by side with a deserving

Maui family on their very own home, to

the breathtaking scenery and pristine

Maui beaches, participants are sure to

have the experience of a lifetime.

There are many ways you can get in-

volved with the Global Village program.

Affiliates interested in hosting teams of

volunteers should contact

mandy@hawaiihabitat.org for more infor-

mation. Individuals interested in joining a

team to build in Hawaii or elsewhere

should visit www.habitat.org/gv for ap-

plication instructions and a list trips they

can join.

Habitat for Humanity West Hawaii re-

cently held their 1st Annual Christmas

Luau at Hulihe’e Palce. The event, which

benefitted the affiliate and the Daughters

of Hawaii, took place on the evening of

Saturday, November 27th and featured a

silent auction of decorated Christmas trees

complete with gifts, a luau buffet and spe-

cial entertainment.

According to the affiliate, ‚It was an

inspirational day for all who attended the

groundbreaking for Ben and Naomi

Noeau’s home in Kawaihae on June 26th,

2010. Kahu Danny Akaka, Jr. performed a

traditional Hawaiian blessing with the

blowing of the pu and a blessing of the 4

corners of the property. Members from

the Habitat ‘ohana and the Noeau’s tilled

the soil with the Hawaiian o’o, the presen-

tation of a tree—a symbol of family,

strength and life, and the ribbon cere-

mony—as a symbol of our collective hope

The Kauai affiliate is living up to their

promise to build ‚the next 100 homes.‛

They recently completed numbers 101 –

103 with the lucky Gampong, Keuma, and

Brown families, and have five more lined

up and ready to go! One of those is a

‘volunteer house,’ which will house vol-

unteer groups and Global Village teams

visiting to support Kauai Habitat’s build-

ing efforts. They also completed the major

undertaking of an off-site sewer line and

will soon begin highway improvements

for their 107 lot subdivision in Ele’ele.

There is a lot more to do in the subdivi-

sion including land

clearing and water and

electrical lines – and all

of these are important

steps in creating hous-

ing solutions for

Kauai’s low income

families. Keep up the

good work!

Kauai Habitat re-

cently added Milani

Pimental to their staff of eight as the new

Fundraising Associate. Milani has over 10

years of experience with non-profit devel-

opment and will work closely with the

Development Director. Although raised in

Chicago, Milani was born in East Kauai

and has been living on island for the past

12 years. We’re happy to welcome her to

the Habitat ‘ohana. Kauai Habitat also

On September 10th and 11th, which is

also the National Day of Service and

Remembrance, Honolulu Habitat held

their Seventh Annual Build-a-Thon, a

public awareness and fundraising event

to raise money to complete the Vascon-

cellos family home; the affiliate’s first

home to be built on O’ahu’s north

shore. Teams from Tripler Army Medi-

cal Center, Booz Allen Hamilton, Ko

Olina Resort, and the UH Manoa Archi-

tecture school helped put down the

decking and put up the walls on the

home. This year’s Build-a-Thon which

raised $20,000, featured a live on-site

broadcast by Augie T and Lina Girl on

KCCN FM100.

Honolulu Habitat wants to say mahalo

to all those who came to check out the

homes on the 2010 National Kitchen and

Bath Tour this past October. The tour

stopped at several homes throughout

O’ahu and the designers were on hand to

speak with attendees about the design

elements of each home. The event bene-

fitted the currently in progress Vascon-

cellos family home in Waialua.

A tragedy occurred within the Habitat

for Humanity Leeward O’ahu affiliate as

Mr. Solomon Kalanui, prospective home-

owner, passed away suddenly in August.

The Kalanui-Kealoha home, the eighth

built by the affiliate, should be complete

before Christmas. We wish his family the

best as they deal with their loss, and lots

of aloha in their new home.

The affiliate recently welcomed for-

mer Office Manager Trinda Sanchez as

their new Executive Director. We are

pleased to welcome Trinda back into the

Habitat family! Former VISTA members

Ben Weinryb Grohsgal and Sean Davis

ended their terms of service this past

August and we wish them well in the

adventures that await them next!

State Farm Insurance participated in

an "Adopt A Day" event with Leeward

Habitat in September. Along with work-

ing on the Kalanui-Kealoha build, they

donated $3,000 to help fund the home.

Molokai Habitat is doing its part to con-

tribute to a more energy efficient Hawaii.

The affiliate recently dedicated the na-

tion’s first completely off-grid Habitat

home, which has a renewable energy

system for the lucky Kaai family. The

ambitious project was completed with

the help of RevoluSun, a solar contractor

from O’ahu which donated time and

labor to design and install the system.

Additional support was given by Young

Brothers, who donated shipping for the

project. The home, which showcases Mo-

Alenna has accomplished for them this

past year and looks forward to continuing

to work with her!

The affiliate hosted their second Global

Village team this past July, which worked

hard alongside partner families on the Kaai

family home.

On August 21st Hilo Habitat held a suc-

cessful 5K Walk-a-Thon in Keaukaha. The

walk started at a Hilo Habitat home cur-

rently being constructed. The second aid

station was at a completed Habitat home

where participants talked with the family

about their new home and life. At a third

aid station participants were greeted by

members of Malia Puka 0 Kalani Church.

Afterwards, refreshments and musical

performances by Aukahi Pride were en-

joyed. Prizes and supplies for the event

were donated by Home Street Bank,

Curves, KTA, Cost U Less, Hilo Hawaiian

Hotel, Cronies, OceanicTime-Warner Ca-

ble, Safeway and Starbucks.

The affiliate would also like to thank

Home Street bank for a recent grant of

$2,500, as well as a donation of plumbing

supplies from J & J Hardware. Wal-Mart

came through with a donation of $1,000 for

the second year in a row. Hilo Habitat

would like to thank these community part-

ners for their continued support!

energy efficient homes, isn’t the only

sustainable project the ‚Friendly Isle‛

affiliate is undertaking at the moment. In

Mid September, Molokai Habitat began

construction on their next partner family

home, made mostly of renewable bam-

boo. Maui’s Bamboo Living is donating

50% of the construction cost of the home,

which will be the first Habitat home in

Hawaii to be LEED certified.

Molokai Habitat bid ‘aloha’ and

‘farewell’ to Executive Director Jean Han

who retired in November of this year to

spend time with her family. We will

surely miss Jean’s cheerful disposition

and positive attitude, as well as her dedi-

cation to helping eliminate poverty hous-

ing on Molokai. We wish Jean much hap-

piness in her retirement.

We would also like to wish many

blessings and much luck to Development

Director Emillia Noordhoek, who left the

affiliate in November to pursue other

interests. We’ve enjoyed working with

Emillia these past few years!

The affiliate officially welcomes Jacob

Noury-Adolpho in December as their

new Executive Director. Jacob was born

and raised on his family’s homestead

farm in Hoolehua, Molokai. He spent the

last 12 years on the mainland working in

Network Deployment Program Manage-

ment. His deep passion for the people of

Molokai led him back to the island and

to Habitat for Humanity. His hobbies

include farming, hunting, diving, camp-

ing and spending time with his family.

We look forward to working with him!

On October 15th Maui Habitat held a

grand opening and blessing to celebrate

the opening of their new ReStore and

new affiliate office at 970 Lower Main

Street in Wailuku. The blessing was per-

formed by Kau Kalani Wong from Kame-

hameha Schools of Maui, and entertain-

ment was provided by Habitat for Hu-

manity homeowner families. The event

was well attended and included hot

dogs, popcorn, and face painting for the

keiki. An invite only ‘soft’ grand opening

the previous night welcomed sponsors,

partners, and potential partners from

local businesses to come check out the

store. Booths were also tended by Maui

Habitat staff to share what was going on

within the affiliate and how folks could

get involved. The new 8000 square foot

ReStore is double size of the last ware-

house and will provide more opportu-

nities for Maui residents to get the

building materials they need at an

affordable price.

Maui Habitat recently held its big-

gest yearly fundraiser, the Ninth An-

nual Island Paradise Classic golf tour-

nament sponsored by Tommy Ba-

hama. This year’s event was a great

success and featured a pre-tournament

party and awards dinner celebration,

silent auction and prizes such as a

Tommy Bahama shirt a month for a

year and golf prizes. As always, much

fun was had at the post-tournament

awards ceremony.

The affiliate also sponsored their an-

nual ‚Buy a Brick‛ event, where donors

could purchase a brick to build a mini

Habitat home on site in the mall. On-

lookers were treated to speakers ranging

from Habitat staff and project managers

to homeowner families telling their sto-

ries.

How much do you know about the

Americorps program? This growing

program, often deemed ‚the domestic

Peace Corps,‛ connects those that are

interested in serving their communities

through non-profit organizations that

provide services and address critical

needs within their communities. Habitat

for Humanity and Americorps have a

long-standing partnership that allows

interested folks to serve affiliates in such

areas as Resource Development, Con-

struction, Family Services, Green Build-

ing, Faith Relations and more. Three of

the seven affiliates and the Hawaii Habi-

tat State Support office are currently tak-

ing advantage of this program, with six

members serving statewide. Members

are having a growing impact on address-

ing affordable housing needs in Hawaii,

so we would like to take the opportunity

to explain some of the basics of this dy-

namic partnership.

Page 5

Members apply to positions just as

they would a job. They find postings on

Americorps.gov, Habitat.org, or

Craigslist.org, and go through an official

hiring process that is a collaboration be-

tween Habitat and the affiliate. Members

come from all walks of life and have a

variety of motivations for serving. They

are often between jobs or have just

graduated from college and are looking

to take their career in a different direc-

tion; they may want to get their foot in

the door with Habitat. But the one thing

all members have in common is their

passion to give back. Members commit to

serving full time for one year with lim-

ited benefits, including a modest living

allowance (up to $15,912) yearly in Ha-

waii depending on county) health bene-

fits, childcare, and a post-service educa-

tion award of $5,350 to return to school

or pay towards student loans.

Americorps members can serve within

two different types of programs while

working with Habitat. Americorps

VISTA (Volunteers In Service to Amer-

ica) members help build the capacity of

the affiliates. They do ‚indirect‛ service,

meaning they work to help build systems

and develop programs within the affili-

ate as opposed to directly serving clients/

homeowners. They may work in Re-

source Development, Volunteer Manage-

ment, Green Building programs or a va-

riety of other positions. Nationwide,

VISTA members only work within non-

profits that deal with poverty reduction,

and their living stipend and benefits are

set just at the federal poverty level. They

are not allowed to get second jobs or

have any supplemental income that

brings them above this level.

Americorps National Direct members

are involved in ‚direct‛ service, meaning

they may do construction, work with

homeowners, or a variety of other tasks.

Americorps members are not consid-

ered employees at an affiliate, but mem-

bers who are completing a year of service.

They aren’t able to replace staff in any-

way, but are meant to develop new pro-

grams and supplement what is already in

place at affiliates. Each member is pro-

vided with a specific assignment descrip-

tion along with tasks and goals they are to

work on during their service year.

Being awarded members is a competi-

tive process, and affiliates have to apply to

Habitat to receive limited member slots.

There is a cost-share paid to Habitat

which in recent years has ranged from

$5,800 - $9,600 per member per year. In

addition, affiliates may choose to support

their members with additional resources

such as housing stipends, bus passes, or

gift cards for groceries.

The bottom line is that Americorps

members work in our affiliates because

they care about the mission of Habitat and

want to serve our country. If you’d like to

support the Americorps members on your

island, please contact your local affiliate. If

you are an affiliate interested in more in-

formation about taking part in this pro-

gram, contact

Mandy at the

Hawaii Habi-

tat for Hu-

manity office.

In June 2010, Hawaii Habitat received a

long awaited grant of $200,000 from the

Department of Hawaiian Homelands.

The grant allows Hawaii Habitat to sup-

port the seven affiliates in building 20

homes on DHHL undivided interest land

(which will also be funded by DHHL)

through technical support, trainings,

advocacy and grants management and

support. The grant which was approved

in June of 2009, was finally received in

June of 2010 to the delight of Hawaii

Habitat staff, whose budget, along with

the affiliates, has been stretched to the

limit during the recession.

The grant has allowed for the devel-

opment and continuation of several pro-

grams within Hawaii Habitat. Two new

statewide networking groups have been

established which met for the first time

in Honolulu in December. A Family Ser-

vices Networking group brought to-

gether Family Selection/Support staff,

volunteers, and affiliate representatives

to network and learn ways to improve

the services they provide. A network of

Construction Site Supervisors from each

affiliate also got to meet each other,

many for the first time, network, learn

best practices, and about innovative and

sustainable building products and tech-

niques. Habitat Executive Director’s

were able to begin meeting quarterly as

well.

The funding has also allowed Hawaii

Habitat to bring several trainers/

consultants to Hawaii, including Mary

Ellen Taylor, Senior Director of US

Learning and Organizational Develop-

ment with Habitat for Humanity Interna-

tional. Mary Ellen held a training session

in conjunction with Hawaii Habitat’s

July Board Meeting, and facilitated a

strategic planning session with affiliates

and Hawaii Habitat Board and staff.

Maureen Howard, Executive Director of

Habitat for Humanity of Washington

State, also came out to train Hawaii

Habitat staff on development of trainings

and networking groups.

We are hoping to soon receive the

second contract from DHHL which will

provide affiliate operating funds, fol-

lowed by construction funding to build

the 20 homes.
