Airman Help Build Houses for Charity

Here is a way to do something constructive, literally, to help out in Korea:

Nearly 140 airmen from Kunsan Air Base got a crash course last week in this country’s construction techniques when they volunteered to build an eight-family apartment building for Habitat for Humanity.

They learned that hallways are shorter and entryways are lower. Insulation goes up even in the interior walls to keep the house warm during the frigid winters. And Styrofoam ramps are installed under the roof so air passes through and a room doesn’t get too hot or too cold.

Their teachers: South Korean volunteers who worked alongside them. Their method of instruction: Broken English and lots of gesturing.

This is really a great project for the USFK airmen to participate in and Habitat for Humanity is something that USFK has long been involved with.  Great job by the Kunsan airmen involved in the project.
