World Habitat Day is Monday!

The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October as World Habitat Day, and that’s this Monday, October 5! This is your chance to do something really important. Shelter is among the most basic needs of people everywhere, and Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to meeting this challenge globally. As their web site says:

"On this day, we reaffirm that adequate shelter is a basic human right, and we focus on the housing conditions of cities and towns around the world. We also use this day to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.

On October 5, 2009, please join us in support of World Habitat Day, as we raise our voices and declare that the lack of decent, affordable housing is unacceptable."
