Kindness begins at home

This was truly the moment ‘Habitat for Humanity’ became what it is now. The organization that is famous for building thousands of houses for the homeless has an American President as its greatest advocate and champion - Jimmy Carter.

President Carter grew up during the hard great depression days in rural Alabama. His house was on the road to savannah and Charleston. And a great many number of tramps migrated to these cities in search of jobs. Often, they would stop by at his house and ask for food for some menial job. His mother always obliged them. Soon, they noticed that every single tramp would stop at their house. Their neighbor even commented that they don’t stop at her’s.

The rest is captured in this photo. It’s an excerpt taken from ‘an hour before daylight’, Carter’s autobiography.
