Arpi is building with Habitat for the first time this week while Mayra has been doing it since 2005. They both work for Citi who is a proud sponsor of the JCWP here in Los Angeles. The ladies have been working hard all day on our San Pedro site, Harborside Terrace. In fact, for part of the day they have been painting a home directly across from former President Carter, who is equally hard at work.
“It’s so wonderful to be here,” said Arpi. “The homeowner is here building with us and seems so happy! It feels so good to help her and to make a difference in her life.”
Mayra is impressed by the huge presence of volunteers here. Her first experience was a local L.A. build with about 50 Citi employees, and today she’s met Citi employees from all over the world including Mexico, Korea and India.
Mayra had this to say about the experience: “Wow. This is a huge project and nobody is slacking off at all! It makes you want to work even harder. I love meeting the families and I am excited to be building their homes.”
