More than 2,000 volunteers from more than 30 countries around the world joined Habitat’s most famous volunteers, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, for the week-long build in India. The first JCWP was held in New York City in 1984. JCWP 2007 will be held in Los Angeles. |

Each Habitat partner family helps build their new home by the side of volunteers. At the end of the week, families and volunteers gather for ceremonies to dedicate each house. |
