What is a home?

A home can be lots of things, but one thing it is not is a house. A house is a place that has walls and long hallways, with no picture to be seen, mabe a couch, a plant, but without a heart it's a cold place. But a home is a place where you can love , hate , laugh, cry , and you feel you can do it all. There is a toy, a ball, but the only thing that counts is the aroma of laughter and love. The aching feeling you have inside , will be flushed out with the love and kindness , from all those loved ones around you. You can’t reach without help , you can’t smile without joy, and when you need it the most you know your loved ones will be there. There are plenty of differences between a house and a home, but you can’t have a home without a house to start in. with a dark hall comes a hall full of colour and memories , a wall with pictures of you and your close ones. Standing next to each other at church, talking with one another at the dinner table . That's why we thank Habitat for Humanity for helping more than 26 million people around the world because everyone deserves a home.
