Peter Anderson Can Really Build!

Peter Anderson has a special attachment to the JCWP, he met his wife there! In 1996, Peter traveled from his home in Belfast ,Northern Ireland to Hungary for a week blitz-build. That week changed his life. He and his wife who met more than ten years ago while volunteering are expecting their first child in about 6 weeks. He and his wife take turns participating in JCWP's around the world. Last year his wife traveled to India, this year it was his turn to join us in Los Angeles.

Peter joined the staff of Habitat for Humanity last year and is proud to be on a team of 4 from Belfast. Two are house leaders and all participate on Global Village teams. This year, Northern Ireland will send out 45 teams to different parts of the world to participate in Habitat builds. 1 in 1000 people in Ireland has participated in a Habitat for Humanity event, a number Peter is extremely proud of.
