High School Students Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity

High School students in Robert DeMass's SUNY Government class traveled to Auburn on January 8 to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity as part of a home refinishing project.

Students helped to clean the front yard from old scraps of wood and garbage, sanded the walls and ceilings in the upstairs, painted molding, the walls and the ceilings.  While volunteering, students learned about the history of this organization, and about the finances of how much the new homeowner will have to pay.

This house is being completely refinished by all volunteers besides plumbing and electrical work.

"Everyone apart of this loves to give back and it was an eye opening experience," said DeMass.
